Can Top-Line Growth Aid Clearfield's (CLFD) Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Clearfield, Inc. (CLFD - Free Report) is scheduled to release fiscal-first quarter 2023 earnings on Feb 2, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company beat adjusted earnings by 42 cents. The specialist in fiber management for communication service providers is expected to report high year-over-year revenues. The upside is likely to be driven by innovation in fiber broadband deployment and customer-centric approach to reducing the complexity of deployment operations by limiting time and resources.
Factors at Play
Clearfield's FastPass Connect method is expected to enhance the speed and efficiency of fiber broadband deployment operations and immensely increase the rate of homes connected. Study findings claimed that this method reduces outside installation time by 38% and inside installation time by 35%. It also needs fewer field resources and less field labor, allowing the company to serve more customers in less time. This higher efficiency will also enable technicians to serve more daily customers, increasing their earning ability. The method will help CLFD advance toward its goal of closing the digital divide. These developments are expected to enhance the company's business portfolio and boost fiscal first-quarter revenues.
For the December quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $85 million. It reported revenues of $51 million in the year-ago quarter. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings stands at 97 cents per share, suggesting an increase from the year-ago tally of 75 cents.
