Shares of Cloudera soared 24% after the cloud-computing specialist reported its second-quarter financial results. The company, which has software products to help with data management and machine learning, said that revenue growth was better than expected, led by with an outsize gain in recurring subscription-based revenue. Although Cloudera wasn't able to earn a profit, its losses for the quarter were only about half as big as most of those following the stock had anticipated. Some investors are still nervous that in the ultra-competitive cloud space, it'll be tough for Cloudera to keep rivals at bay. But at least for today, shareholders are excited about the opportunities the company has to take full advantage of the current tech boom.
