What to Expect Ahead of Maxar's (MAXR) Q1 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
Maxar Technologies Inc. is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results on May 9, after the closing bell.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 12 cents per share. The figure indicates an improvement from a loss of $1.30 reported in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $399.5 million, suggesting growth of 1.9% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
In the past year, shares have returned 13.1% compared with the industry’s decline of 5.5%.
In the last reported quarter, the company reported earnings per share of 94 cents for fourth-quarter 2021 against a loss of 65 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings stood at 6 cents. Quarterly revenues of $468 million improved marginally from the year-ago quarter’s level of $467 million. The upside was attributed to increased revenues in the Earth Intelligence segment, partially offset by a decline in Space Infrastructure segment revenues. The top line also marginally surpassed the consensus mark of $466 million.
Factors at Play
Maxar’s first-quarter performance is likely to have been driven by solid bookings growth and an increasing customer base in the Earth Intelligence and Space Infrastructure segments.
The company’s top line is also likely to benefit from higher uptake of 3D and other innovative geospatial products among government and enterprise clients.
In December last year, the company announced contract extensions with three long-standing international defense and intelligence customers. Totaling more than $100 million, the agreements allow these customers to directly task and download 30 cm-class satellite imagery to their ground stations from Maxar’s constellation under its Direct Access Program.
Delays in the construction of satellites and the procurement of required components and launch vehicles are anticipated to have hurt Maxar’s business. Increasing operating expenses and higher lead time associated with supply-chain woes are other headwinds. These factors are likely to have dented the company’s margins to some extent during the to-be-reported quarter.
