Talend S.A. CEO’s Comments
“We achieved record revenue for the second quarter of 2016 of $25.4 million, accelerating to 38% year-over-year growth from 34% in the first quarter of 2016,” said Mike Tuchen, Talend CEO. “Our strong results were driven by our cloud and big data solutions, with combined revenues continuing to grow over 100% year-over-year.

TLND Technical Analysis
TLND opened trading yesterday at $28.79 which was up from the previous days trading of $28.60. TLND closed trading yesterday at $30.18 and crashed down after market to $24.89, equivalent to a 18% decrease from the closing price. TLND is a recent IPO stock so we don’t have historical prices to compare the current drop in price. With this drop in price TLND has fallen below its IPO price of $25.50. TLND traded 1.13 times the normal daily trading volume on Thursday. For trading purposes, I would like to see TLND open trading on Friday below $26.75 and if it does I would be looking to take a short position at the bell. My stop loss would be $0.35 from my entry position fearing anything more than that and the stock would start to fill in the gap up.
