Nothing.  It's just a matter of supply and demand.
If company did well in every sector then why after hour stock price went down like crazy?
because they only grew by 28%. the market looks at 60% and higher as real growth to sustain its value. This is likely the start of a large tech correction.
Lower than expected guidance for next quarter.
