The FQ3 (Apr Q) report showed solid underlying execution: revenue of $850M (+25% YoY), EPS $1.08 vs $1.008 estimate, positive operating income ($2M). But forward guidance disappointed and two senior sales executives departed simultaneously — the combination triggered a violent de-rating from ~40x forward P/E to ~34x at current prices.

At 38x forward P/E on a still-GAAP-unprofitable name with decelerating revenue growth (26% vs prior 34%/30%+), valuation does not support an asymmetric long thesis — the stock is essentially re-rating from deeply oversold to fair rather than discovering new upside.
