Alteryx Stock Got Cut In Half By Elliott Wave Setup

 | May 31, 2021 12:13AM ET

We first wrote about Alteryx (NYSE:AYX) in the fall of 2020. The stock was surging after a better-than-expected Q3 revenue guidance and was quickly approaching $150 a share. With a market cap of roughly $10 billion back then, apparently it didn’t matter that this data analytics software provider was barely profitable.

In the era of money printing and meme stocks, the market wasn’t too interested in the company’s fundamentals nor valuation. So we took the other route and examined the stock through the prism of the Elliott Wave principle. Here is what we found on Oct. 6, 2020.

The best Alteryx bulls were able to achieve was $154.83 on Oct. 12, 2020. The following eight months have been a real nightmare for them. On May 19, the stock fell as low as $73.32, down 51% from when we wrote about it and 60% from its record.

However, we think the stock is still not cheap. It trades at a forward price-to-sales of 9 and its price-to-earning ratio is in the stratosphere. With that in mind, it makes sense for Alteryx stock to keep sliding going forward. Wave 3 of C to the south seems to be currently unfolding. The bears remain in charge.
