Rackspace Earnings Disappoint

Rackspace reported QE December 2012 financial results on February 12

Rackspace Earnings Disappoint On Record Results

Open cloud provider and innovator Rackspace (RAX) reported a record quarter for total revenues ($352.9 million), operating income ($49.6 million), net income ($29.9 million), GAAP earnings per share ($0.21), and cash flow from operations per share ($0.85) for the quarter ending December 2012. Though the best financial results ever reported by CEO Lanham Napier, this was considered a miss of $2.5 million on revenues ($355.4 million expected) and a miss of $0.01 on GAAP earnings per share ($0.22 expected). After reviewing the quarterly report, I consider this a mild disappointment at most. Read more and see the charts at Seeking Alpha.
