Factors to Consider

SMART Global’s strong execution and solid momentum across Memory Solutions and LED Solutions are expected to have driven its performance in third-quarter fiscal 2022.

Strengthening footprints in the networking, telecom and storage end markets, owing to the solid adoption of core DDR3, DDR4 and Flash products, are likely to have aided sales of Memory Solutions in the to-be-reported quarter.

The growing momentum across video, architectural and landscape specialty lighting markets, driven by the strong demand for high-brightness products, is expected to have aided sales of LED Solutions. The increasing adoption of new CV94D products, and solid momentum in design wins across horticulture, indoor sports lighting and road signage applications are anticipated to have been other tailwinds in the quarter under review.

Coming to the Intelligent Platform Solutions segment, the company is likely to have gained from its partnership with Meta, in which it is offering AI-optimized architecture and managed services for the latter’s ultra-scale AI supercomputer.

The growing momentum across its new brand, Penguin Solutions, is anticipated to have been a positive.

Strengthening Penguin's cloud-based solutions, as well as solutions focused on core, data center, AI and analytics, are expected to have driven the company’s customer momentum in the quarter under review.

However, the impacts of the coronavirus-induced supply-chain constraints and other uncertainties are expected to get reflected in SMART Global’s fiscal third-quarter results.
