Domo, Dynatrace, Toast, Manhattan Associates, and Intuit Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
What Happened?
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after a robust earnings report and upgraded annual revenue forecast from networking giant Cisco Systems, fueled optimism in the software sector.
Cisco's impressive results were driven by strong demand from hyperscaler clients, the massive companies that dominate cloud computing, who are pouring capital into artificial intelligence infrastructure. This report was viewed by investors as a positive bellwether for the entire tech ecosystem.
The voracious appetite for AI is not only benefiting chipmakers but also the companies providing the essential networking hardware required to support these advanced systems. Cisco's performance reinforces the market narrative that the AI boom is generating substantial and sustained spending across the broader technology landscape, lifting investor sentiment sector-wide.

Zooming In On Dynatrace (DT)
Dynatrace’s shares are somewhat volatile and have had 12 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 1 day ago when the stock dropped 13.1% on the news that the company's financial outlook for the upcoming quarter pointed to a potential slowdown, overshadowing its first-quarter results that surpassed expectations.
For its first quarter, Dynatrace reported adjusted earnings of $0.41 per share and revenue of $531.7 million, both of which were higher than analysts had predicted.
Despite the strong quarterly results, investors were more focused on the company's future prospects. Management guided for sales growth of 15% year-on-year for the next quarter, a notable deceleration from the 19.4% growth just reported. While the full-year earnings forecast was slightly ahead of expectations, the guidance for next quarter's earnings per share fell short of consensus estimates, sparking investor concerns about the company's near-term growth trajectory.
Dynatrace is down 13.1% since the beginning of the year, and at $36.81 per share, it is trading 35% below its 52-week high of $56.64 from July 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Dynatrace’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at only $788.60.
