The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues currently stands at $35 million, indicating growth of 46.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

Notably, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, missing in the remaining one, the average earnings surprise being 55.2%.

EMCORE is expected to have benefited from strong performance of the broadband segment, driven by the continued surge in demand for the company’s Cable TV transmitters and components.

However, COVID-19’s negative impact on personnel and supply chains in the United States, China and Thailand is expected to have hurt growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
