What happened
Shares of SVMK (MNTV), the parent company of SurveyMonkey, jumped on Friday following a fourth-quarter report that beat analyst expectations.

So what

Now what
For the first quarter, the software-as-a-service company expects to produce revenue between $85 million and $86 million, up about 25% year over year. On a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis, it expects an operating margin between negative 2% and negative 4%.

With SVMK beating estimates across the board and guiding for continued strong growth in 2020, investors found plenty of reasons to bid up the stock.
