What: Shares of business intelligence specialist Qlik Technologies (Nasdaq: QLIK ) have soared by as much as 22% today after the company reported earnings.
So what: Second-quarter sales totaled $85.8 million, of which $50 million was license revenue. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.02, a penny higher than Wall Street's forecasts. CEO Lars Bjork said the results fell short of internal expectations, yet investors are still cheering.
Now what: The company also provided better-than-expected revenue guidance, which could explain the optimism today.
