What's in the Offing for TiVo (TIVO) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
TiVo Corporation is scheduled to report first-quarter 2018 results on May 10, after the market closes. The question lingering in investors’ minds is whether or not the company will be able to post a positive earnings surprise in the quarter.
Notably, the company has a mixed earnings surprise history. In the trailing four quarters, the company’s results surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice for as many misses, resulting in an average negative earnings surprise of 0.72%.
What the Zacks Model Unveils?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that TiVo is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or at least 3 (Hold) for this to happen. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
It should be noted that stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 or 5 (Sell rated) are best avoided, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.
TiVo carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), which makes surprise prediction difficult. Furthermore, we noted that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings has been revised downward over the past seven days.
Furthermore, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $192.6 million, which represents a 6.4% decline from the year-ago quarter. However, analysts polled by Zacks project 13.3% year-over-year growth in earnings, and reach 34 cents.
TiVo has been witnessing stiff competition from Internet video providers such as Alphabet’s YouTube, Netflix (NFLX - Free Report) , Apple (AAPL - Free Report) and Roku, which has been negatively impacting its subscriber base. We believe rising competition to have affected the company’s to-be-reported quarter’s top-line results.
Also, as a result of intensifying competition, TiVo has been increasing its operating expenses to stay ahead, which is likely to have dampened the company’s profitability. Notably, the company’s total cost and expenses flared up approximately 31% to $821.7 million in 2017 from $627.7 million incurred in 2016.
It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 27 billion devices in just 3 years, creating a $1.7 trillion market.
Zacks has just released a Special Report that spotlights this fast-emerging phenomenon and 6 tickers for taking advantage of it. If you don't buy now, you may kick yourself in 2020. Click here for the 6 trades >>
