AYX - Why Alteryx Stock Dropped Today
Shares of data-analytics platform specialist Alteryx (NYSE: AYX) were down 10% as of 3:30 p.m. EST Wednesday despite a lack of company-specific news.
That said, Alteryx management did hold a previously scheduled presentation at the Raymond James Technology Investors Conference today. But the stock's decline began well before that presentation kicked off. And even then, the event's attendees reportedly said management's comments included no negative surprises that might have spurred such a drop.
It appears Alteryx is being dragged down as part of a broader pullback in cloud-computing and SaaS names today. And it certainly didn't help that the stock was up a whopping 84% year to date leading into yesterday's close, including a 24% gain last month as the market celebrated Alteryx's impressive third-quarter 2019 results.
