What happened
Shares of cloud integration-solutions specialist Talend (TLND) jumped on Friday, rising as much as 10.7%. As of 11:23 a.m. EDT, however, the stock was up 8.4%.
The stock's gain follows Talend's second-quarter earnings release on Thursday afternoon. Shares of the growth stock are likely up primarily because the company's top and bottom lines for the quarter were both better than expected. In addition, the company provided a stronger-than-expected outlook for the full year.
