Factors to Consider

Teradata has been consistently benefiting from the cloud business. A robust pipeline and larger cloud deals are expected to have continued aiding its fourth-quarter performance.

Strength in the Vantage platform is expected to have driven the growth of Teradata’s customer base in the fourth quarter.

In addition, growing efforts to strengthen its technologies are anticipated to have been a positive in the to-be-reported quarter.

Also, increasing investments for faster cloud execution and cloud go-to-market global activities are likely to have remained other positives in the quarter under review.

Further, intensifying competition in the analytic data solutions market is anticipated to have been a headwind for the company.
