TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jan 20.

TD SYNNEX was formerly known as SYNNEX Corporation but the company changed its name after the acquisition of Tech Data Corporation on Sep 1, 2021.

For the fiscal fourth quarter, the company expects revenues between $15 billion and $16 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $15.52 billion, indicating a 109.3% increase from the prior-year period.

Moreover, the company projects fiscal fourth-quarter non-GAAP earnings between $2.50 and $2.80 per share. The consensus mark of $2.67 for quarterly earnings suggests a year-over-year decline of 48.8% from the year-ago quarter’s $5.21.

TD SYNNEX Corp. Price and EPS Surprise

Factors at Play

The year-over-year expected increase in the top line is likely to have been due to revenues from the newly merged Tech Data Corporation’s business, partially offset by a loss of revenues from the separation of the company’s Concentrix business. The company split its Concentrix business into a separate publicly traded company on Dec 1, 2020. The separated business has been named Concentrix Corporation.

Moreover, TD SYNNEX’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the steady IT spending environment due to rapid digital transformation.

Increased demand for hardware and tools, which support remote working, is anticipated to have boosted TD SYNNEX’s revenues during the quarter under review. The pandemic-induced work-and-learn-from-home wave has been driving the sales of peripherals, software, communication, networking and consumer electronics products. This impressive demand trend is likely to have been conducive to SNX’s top line during the fiscal fourth quarter.

Additionally, the lockdown has bolstered the usage of online and e-commerce services globally. Also, the work-and-learn-from-home necessity has been stoking demand for cloud storage. Therefore, data-center operators are enhancing their capacities to accommodate the demand spike for cloud services, which is likely to have aided TD SYNNEX’s data-center servers and storage solution businesses during the fiscal fourth quarter.

However, the positive impact of the aforementioned factors might have been partially offset by prevailing supply-chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. Foreign-exchange headwinds are expected to have been an added concern.
