Investing.com – Pure Storage stock (NYSE:PSTG) climbed 14% Wednesday as the company’s third-quarter revenue jumped 37% from the same time last year to help the company raise its guidance again.
The company that provides storage as-a-service in a multi-cloud world now expects revenue to be $2.1 billion for the current financial year ending January 31, up around 25% from last year’s $1.68 billion. Its forecast in August saw current-year revenue at $2.04 billion.
New customer additions rose by around 12% in the third quarter to close October with more than 9,500 clients.

Adjusted profit per share of 22 cents on third-quarter revenue of $563 million was well ahead of estimates.
