Mizuho expects management to remain conservative with guidance and reiterate its current full-year revenue and EPS forecast of $2.380-2.420bn and $2.19-2.23, respectively.

Analyst Abhey Lamba commented, "Red Hat reports today after market close. For F2Q17, currency was largely in-line with guidance. For revenue, we expect $590-595mm (+17-18% Y/Y) vs. consensus of $590mm and guidance of $587-593mm.
