Perion Network (PERI) to Report Q3 Earnings: What to Expect

Zacks Equity Research Published on October 30, 2023

Perion Network (PERI - Free Report) is slated to release its third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 1.

For the third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $184.48 million, suggesting an increase of 16.30% from the year-ago quarter’s levels and in line with the company’s preliminary estimates.

The consensus mark for earnings stands at 76 cents per share, calling for an increase of 24.59% from the year-ago quarter’s figures.

Perion’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 17.80%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.

Factors to Note

Perion’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its digital advertising industry, driven by its strong technology infrastructure and diversified product portfolio.

Revenues from high-margin business segments like Display Advertising and Search Advertising increased 22% and 21%, respectively, year over year. This trend is expected to have continued in the third quarter of 2023.

Perion’s Display Advertising revenues are expected to reflect benefits from the rising adoption of the company’s video and Connected TV solutions. Higher SORT customer spending is also expected to have aided top-line growth.

Moreover, the growing requirement for privacy is expected to have kept demand for SORT, driving the company’s top-line growth.
