Improving Prospects for Seagate
Seagate’s performance is benefitting from surging demand for its mass storage capacity solutions, driven by robust cloud data center demand, recovery in the enterprise market and increasing investments in digital transformation by business enterprises. Strengthening enterprise and video and image applications markets, and the healthy uptake of its mass capacity storage solutions in the edge computing vertical also augur well.
In the last reported quarter, the company reported non-GAAP revenues of $3.116 billion, improving 19% on a year-over-year basis but unchanged sequentially. Robust demand for its mass capacity storage solutions, especially nearline products from cloud data center customers, boosted the top line.
However, supply-chain constraints, component shortages and logistics bottlenecks are concerns. Further, higher freight costs and stiff competition in the disk drive market remain near-term headwinds.
At present, Seagate carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). Shares of STX have gained 4.8% against the industry’s fall of 63.2% in the past year.
Bel Fuse has a projected earnings growth rate of 3.65% for 2023. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Bel Fuse’s 2023 earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days.
Bel Fuse’s first-quarter 2022 earnings per share are estimated at 22 cents, suggesting year-over-year growth of 195.65%. Shares of BELFB have dropped 15.2% in the past year.
American Software has a projected earnings growth rate of 24.24% for fiscal 2022. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for American Software’s fiscal 2022 earnings has been revised upward by 4 cents in the past 60 days.
American Software’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, the average surprise being 92.14%. Shares of AMSWA have declined 5.5% in the past year.
Iridium has a projected earnings growth rate of 157.14% for 2022. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Iridium’s 2022 earnings has been revised upward by 2 cents in the past 60 days.
