Weak Earnings

“Unanticipated weakness in smartphone demand that materialized in late December drove our Q3 results below expectations and further impacted our Q4 guidance,” said the CEO.
Estimates Plunging
After weak results, analysts have cut their estimates for the company. Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year and next fiscal year have fallen to $4.36 per share and $3.95 per share respectively, down from $4.82 and $4.87, before the results. Falling estimates sent the stock to a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
