Rackspace to Review Results

On September 10, 2008 (next Wednesday) we will all have the opportunity to listen in on an interesting conversation between the CEO and CFO of Rackspace and the analysts in the investment community that follow them.

This will be the first conference call with the investment community to discuss the earnings and operations of the company since Rackspace went public on August 7th.

If you would like to listen in live, here are the specifics:

The company will announce second quarter 2008 financial results Wednesday, September 10, 2008, after the close of the financial markets. That same day at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time - Lanham Napier, president and chief executive officer, and Bruce Knooihuizen, chief financial officer, will host the analysts call. The call can be accessed via a live feed from the Rackspace website at: www.rackspace.com. A replay of the call will be available until midnight September 24 by calling 888-203-1112 in the United States or 719-457-0820 for calls from outside the United States. The replay passcode is 9143062.

So why will this be such an interesting call to listen in to? Well, any company operating in the same market space – managed dedicated servers – can gain great insight into the market conditions by hearing an assessment directly from management. Also – since this is the very first analysts call – one can gain a great understanding of what the investment community keys in on when creating investment scenarios or ratings for a company like Rackspace. We may also hear some comments on how the IPO process went in general. It is likely that we will hear some type of forecast for the market – and whether the generally faltering global economy will impact future revenues for Rackspace.

In any event, it should be good information to secure if you are interested in the general hosting marketplace, or are interested in investor sentiment regarding hosting. I know I’ll be listening in.
