For the quarter, the company expects revenues between $330 million and $360 million. Earnings are expected in the range of $1-$1.30 per share.
For the fourth quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.20 per share, unchanged over the past 30 days and indicating growth of 0.84% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $347.95 million, which suggests an improvement of 3.36% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
IPG Photonics’ earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in one, delivering an earnings surprise of 8.61%, on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for IPG Photonics prior to this announcement.
Factors to Consider
IPG Photonics’ fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from an improving macroeconomic environment and the recovery in capital spending. Emerging trends like energy efficiency and sustainability, displacement of legacy lasers, and increases in the electric vehicle battery capacity are anticipated to have boosted demand for IPG’s laser solutions in the to-be-reported quarter.
Continued momentum in higher power products across the core materials processing domain and strength in new solutions are expected to have bolstered the top line. Strength in fiber & diode lasers, fiber amplifiers, and transceivers portfolios are expected to have aided revenues in the fourth quarter.
IPG’s top-line growth is expected to have benefited from strong sales of lightWELD.
IPG’s efforts to expand into new end markets like advanced applications (3D Printing and micro-materials processing), renewable energy, electric vehicle battery processing and systems, ultra-high-power cutting, and medical are likely to have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
The development of new medical applications utilizing fiber lasers for urological and dental procedures is anticipated to have aided the adoption of laser-based medical solutions. This, in turn, is likely to have driven the fourth-quarter performance.
Nonetheless, weakness in the China market due to soft demand in cutting applications, uncertainty due to supply chain issues and power outages are expected to have hurt top-line growth.
Stiff pricing competition is likely to have put pressure on IPG’s fourth-quarter bottom line. Moreover, increasing lead time for certain components and inflationary pressure on input costs are expected to have clipped its margins during the quarter under review.
