Ultra Clean Holdings (UCTT - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2022 results on Oct 26.
For the third quarter, Ultra Clean projects revenues in the $585 million to $645 million range. Earnings are estimated between 94 cents and $1.18 per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues stands at $615 million, indicating growth of 11.08% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for third-quarter earnings remained unchanged over the past 30 days at $1.06 per share. The figure indicates a year-over-year decline of 0.93%.
Ultra Clean’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missing once, the average surprise being 1.14%.
Factors to Note
Ultra Clean’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strong demand for semiconductor products and services, led by the acceleration of digital transformation that has increased the consumption of semiconductor content.
The company might have gained from its ramped-up capital spending plans to develop its robust portfolio and diverse offerings that address megatrends such as 5G, AI, electric vehicles and high-performance computing.
Ultra Clean is expected to have benefited from its strategic capacity expansion, which helps address the supply chain bottleneck globally. With the markets re-opening in Shanghai, China, and the recent expansion of facilities to Malaysia, the United States, Europe and Israel, production has ramped up and is expected to have aided the top line.
However, the company is expecting slowing demand for PCs, low-end smartphones and some consumer electronics due to rising inflation. However, even with capacity expansion, global supply chain constraints are still persistent and are expected to have impacted the top-line growth of Ultra Clean negatively in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Our Model Indicates
The Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for the company this time. This is because it does not have the right combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) to increase the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here.
Even though Ultra Clean has a Zacks Rank #3, it has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.

Research Chief Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
This company targets millennial and Gen Z audiences, generating nearly $1 billion in revenue last quarter alone. A recent pullback makes now an ideal time to jump aboard. Of course, all our elite picks aren’t winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Nano-X Imaging which shot up +129.6% in little more than 9 months.
