In contrast, Nutanix enjoyed a 3% increase in its stock price as it reported strong fiscal third-quarter results. The cloud computing firm delivered an adjusted earnings and revenue beat, boasting a non-GAAP operating margin of 22.3%, significantly higher than the 16.9% expected by analysts.

Meanwhile, Braze witnessed a 12% drop after revealing first-quarter adjusted earnings of 10 cents per share, matching expectations.
