Alteryx is a data analytics company that offers a subscription-based platform for customers to access, prepare, and analyze data from a multitude of sources, then deploy and share analytics at scale to make data-driven decisions.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operational, and compliance policies.  Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) that the Company was unable to close large deals within the quarter and deals were pushed out to subsequent quarters or downsized; (ii) that, as a result, Alteryx increasingly relied on adoption licenses to attract new customers; (iii) that, as a result, and because of the nature of adoption licenses, the Company's revenue was reasonably likely to decline; and (iv) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

On August 6, 2020, the Company announced in a press release its second-quarter 2020 financial results, and disappointing growth projections for the third quarter and full-year 2020. Therein, Alteryx stated that, for the third quarter, it expected revenue "to be in the range of $111.0 million to $115.0 million, an increase of 7% to 11% year-over-year." Moreover, for the fiscal year 2020, the Company expected revenue "to be in the range of $460.0 million to $465.0 million, an increase of 10% to 11% year-over-year."

On this news, the Company's share price fell $47.62 per share, or over 28%, to close at $121.38 per share on August 7, 2020, thereby injuring investors. The stock price continued to decline over the next trading session by $12.15 per share, or 10%, to close at $109.23 per share on August 10, 2020, representing a cumulative decline of $59.77 per share, or over 35%.
