A bullish forecast

These strong results prompted Dynatrace to lift its full-year financial outlook.

Management now expects adjusted earnings per share of $1.67 to $1.69, up from a prior forecast of $1.62 to $1.64. Dynatrace also boosted its free cash flow guidance to $520 million to $525 million, up from $505 million to $515 million.

Additionally, Dynatrace announced a new $1 billion share repurchase program.

“Our scale, balance sheet, and proven ability to generate strong cash flow allow us to invest for durable long-term growth, while also returning capital to shareholders,” chief financial officer Jim Benson said.
