Perfect (PERF) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

MSCI VRT META

Perfect Corp is slated to report its first-quarter 2024 earnings on Apr 24.

For the first quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $14.14 million, suggesting growth of 16.34% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.

The consensus mark for earnings has remained unchanged at 1 cent per share in the past 30 days.

Perfect’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 275%.

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

Factors to Note

Perfect’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its strong momentum in AI solutions particularly in its AI/AR cloud solutions and subscription services.

Increasing demand for skincare diagnosis products and virtual try-on solutions for jewelry and fashion industries is likely to have aided PERF’s top-line growth.

PERF’s expansion into new verticals, such as skincare clinics, medspas and aesthetic clinics, with its AI-powered skin diagnosis technology is expected to have bolstered the company’s performance in the quarter under review.

Robust growth in PERF’s mobile beauty app business, with an increase in active subscribers of more than 879,000 in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the addition of new categories like skin diagnosis, jewelry and fashion markets, is expected to boost revenue expansion in the B2C sector.

Perfect's commitment to innovation, as evidenced by the development of AI wig virtual try-on and other AI hair solutions, is expected to attract more users and boost PERF’s top line during the first quarter.
