What: Shares of RealPage have popped today by as much as 12% after the company reported earnings.

So what: Adjusted revenue of $94.5 million topped the consensus estimate of $94.3 million. The adjusted earnings per share of $0.14 was right on target with expectations. However, guidance impressed investors.
