What's in the Offing for Synaptics (SYNA) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Synaptics (SYNA - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on May 5.
For the fiscal third quarter, the company expects revenues between $450 million and $480 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $465.8 million, indicating a year-over-year increase of 43%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at $3.55 per share, suggesting a jump of 74.9% year over year.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.9%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
Synaptics’ fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from a healthy backlog. Moreover, solid bookings, a growing customer base and healthy product sell-in and sell-through patterns are expected to have been key growth drivers.
Moreover, SYNA is a display component supplier of Apple, which witnessed an increase in iPhone and Mac sales during the December-end quarter. This is likely to have benefited Synaptics as well.
Additionally, for the Internet of Things business, the company’s solid prospects in the edge system on a chip are anticipated to have been a tailwind.
The company’s market-leading position for touchpads and secure fingerprint sensors in the personal computer market makes one optimistic about the upcoming quarterly release. The new design momentum with its Organic Light Emitting Diode touch sensors is also likely to have benefited the top line during the to-be-reported quarter.
Further, Synaptics’ focus on controlling the operating expenses with more disciplined spending and selective project investments is likely to have boosted profitability. The company’s cost-saving initiatives are expected to have resulted in a non-GAAP gross margin of 59.5-60.5% as projected by the company, marking the fourth consecutive quarter with a gross margin of more than 50%.
However, macroeconomic woes due to the pandemic were key concerns during the quarter under review. Moreover, pandemic-led continued supply-chain disruptions and component shortages are anticipated to have hurt Synaptics’ third-quarter top and bottom lines.
