Lam Research (LRCX) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Lam Research Corporation (LRCX - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jul 27.
For the fiscal fourth quarter, LRCXexpects revenues to be $4.2 billion (+/- $300 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $4.21 billion, indicating growth of 1.5% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported value.
Lam Researchanticipates non-GAAP earnings per share of $7.25 (+/- 75 cents) for fourth-quarter fiscal 2022. The consensus mark for earnings per share is pegged at $7.3, indicating a 9.8% decline from the previous-year fiscal quarter’s reported figure. Also, the consensus mark has been unchanged over the past 30 days.
LCRX’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same once, the average surprise being 2.51%.
Lam Research is likely to have gained from continued strong demand for semiconductor equipment in the fiscal fourth quarter. Rising demand for semiconductor devices owing to the growing adoption of artificial intelligence, 5G and the IoT technologies might have acted as a tailwind.
The growing usage of DRAM and NAND in consumer products is expected to have driven demand for wafer fab equipment during the quarter under review.
Continuous investment in expanding products and services is expected to have remained a tailwind in the underlined quarter.
Lam Research has been winning applications across etch and deposition for all device segments. This is likely to have continued aiding its quarterly performance.
Strong momentum for atomic layer deposition (ALD) metals and dielectric solutions for leading-edge foundry/logic nodes in the deposition business might have supported the quarter under discussion.
LRCX is witnessing large contract wins in the Customer Support Business Group. This is expected to have prevailed in the fiscal fourth quarter too.
Lam Research has been performing well in China, Korea and Taiwan so far. This is likely to have remained a positive. Also, growing investment in Korea and Taiwan might have aided the quarterly performance.
However, supply-chain challenges and constant component shortages as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic are likely to get reflected in the results for the fiscal fourth quarter.
Inflation-induced softness in the consumer market is expected to have remained a headwind in the to-be-reported quarter.
