Key Factors to Note

The impacts of TE Connectivity’s footprint-consolidation plans and stringent cost-cutting strategies are expected to get reflected in the fiscal third-quarter results.

Strong momentum across factory automation applications is expected to have driven growth in the company’s industrial equipment sales in the fiscal third quarter. Strength across renewable energy applications is anticipated to have aided the energy business. These factors are expected to have benefited the industrial segment in the quarter under discussion.

In the Communication segment, strengthening momentum across data and devices, as well as appliances, is anticipated to have acted as a tailwind in the quarter under review. The growing traction across high-speed solutions for cloud applications is likely to have been another key catalyst.

Recovering overall auto production, along with the increasing production of hybrid and electric vehicles, is likely to have contributed well to sales growth of the company’s Transportation segment in the to-be-reported quarter. Solid content growth is expected to have driven commercial transportation sales growth in the quarter under review.

All the above-mentioned factors are likely to have benefited TE Connectivity’s top line in the fiscal third quarter.

However, weakening momentum across energy, medical, and aerospace, defense and marine applications is likely to have been a headwind. Disruptions induced by the ongoing pandemic are expected to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarterly results.
