Read MoreHide Full Article
AXT Inc (AXTI - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2021 results on Oct 27.
For the third quarter,the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $35.1 million, indicating an improvement of 37.8% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for earnings stands at 11 cents per share, suggesting a jump from 2 cents reported in the year-ago reported figure.
Key Factors to Note
Increasing demand in indium phosphide and gallium arsenide substrates for LED applications is likely to have continued aiding the company’s third-quarter performance.
Its growing raw material business is anticipated to have benefited the top line in the quarter under review.
Concerted initiatives to support the current and the emerging customer requirements across different applications like 5G telecommunications and its related technologies, data center connectivity plus LED-based sensing and display might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Increasing adoption of silicon photonics in the data centers is likely to have remained a tailwind during the third quarter.
Rising investments in the manufacturing and business processes, in-house expertise and product development are expected to have supported the to-be-reported quarterly performance.
Higher demand in broad-based IoT application is anticipated to have contributed to the wireless revenues in the quarter under discussion.
Further, AXT developed eight-inch gallium arsenide wafers for LED applications, such as microLED and lidars. This is expected to have remained a key factor in driving the company’s performance in the third quarter.
However, uncertainties related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results. Also, increasing expenses related to research and development are likely to have affected the quarterly performance.
