Shares of Appian (NASDAQ:APPN) jumped 12.4% in August, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That performance brings the low-code software development platform provider's one-year return to 35.6% through Friday, Sept. 7.
For context, the S&P 500 returned 3.3% last month and has returned 18.8% over the past year.

So whatWe can probably attribute at least some of Appian's robust August performance to the fact that more investors continue to discover it -- the company went public in May 2017 -- and to the release of encouraging second-quarter earnings on Aug. 2. That said, the stock is quite volatile, so investors shouldn't read too much into August's move.
