The company’s revenue surged to about $2.58 billion, about 15.7% higher than its sales of $2.23 billion from its fourth quarter of the previous year. Wall Street’s consensus estimate predicted that VMware would tally up sales of $2.5 billion, also per a FactSet survey.

For its first quarter of its fiscal 2019, the brand forecasts earnings of $1.23 per share on an adjusted basis, while sales are slated to reach $2.23 billion.

VMW stock popped roughly 3.4% after the bell as the Dell Technologies subsidiary had a positive quarter on the sales front. Shares had been declining close to 2.4% during regular trading hours as VMware readied itself to report for the period.
