NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of Blackboard Inc. (BBBB) gained as much as 13% a day after its chief financial officer said at a presentation that the education company would exceed the high end of its previous fourth-quarter guidance. Speaking at the Needham & Company Growth Conference Wednesday in New York, Blackboard's Chief Financial Officer Peter Repetti said his company's fourth-quarter results will come in above the previous estimate of $28.3 million to $28.8 million in revenue on earnings of 12 cents to 13 cents a share. Blackboard also reiterated its target operating model of 20% to 25% revenue growth, 70% to 75% gross margins and 25% to 30% EBITDA margins, according to CSFB analyst Brandon Dobell. Wall Street is expecting Blackboard to have revenue of $28.9 million on earnings of 13 cents a share. "Contract value is the most important metric to watch on a quarter-to-quarter basis," Dobell wrote in a research note Thursday. "Contract value was a bit weaker than expected in the third quarter due to some staffing issues." CSFB provided investment-banking services for Blackboard within the past 12 months and managed or co-managed a public offering of securities for Blackboard within the past 12 months. Dobell expects Blackboard to post revenue of $29.1 million for its fourth quarter on earnings of 13 cents a share. Thomas Weisel analyst R. Keith Gay wrote in a research note Thursday that contract value at Blackboard will be up sequentially for the fourth quarter. "Overall demand in the higher-education sector remains steady, and we believe Blackboard is an attractive small-cap opportunity," Gay wrote.
