On February 28, 2019, Nutanix issued a press release announcing the Company’s financial and operating results for the second fiscal quarter of 2019.  In the press release, Nutanix advised investors that “[l]ooking head, our third quarter guidance reflects the impact of inadequate marketing spending for pipeline generation and slower than expected sales hiring.  We took a critical look at these areas and have taken actions to address them.”  Later that day, on a conference call discussing the Company’s financial results, Nutanix revealed that despite its previous representations that the Company had been investing in sales and marketing and growing its business, in actuality Nutanix had held flat or decreased lead generation, the key driver of pipeline.  As a result, Nutanix had missed its pipeline targets and Nutanix’s financial guidance for upcoming quarters was significantly negatively impacted. 

Following these disclosures, Nutanix’s stock price fell $16.39 per share, more than 32%, to close at $33.70 per share on March 1, 2019.
