Shares of Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) soared on Monday. There was no company-specific news driving the rally, but the broader stock market enjoyed a strong day. Appian stock was up about 11.8% at 3:30 p.m. EST today.
Shares of Appian had been trending downward ever since early September of last year. A secondary offering of common stock sent shares lower, and somewhat weak guidance in October didn't help the situation.
The software-as-a-service company said it expected fourth-quarter revenue between $69.1 million and $70.1 million, compared with the average analyst estimate of $70.1 million. Non-GAAP (adjusted) EPS is expected to be a loss of $0.14 or $0.15, worse than the $0.11 loss analysts were expecting.
