Factors to Consider

The increased demand for hardware and tools, which support hybrid working, is anticipated to have boosted TD SYNNEX’s revenues during the quarter under review. The growing hybrid working trend has been driving the sales of peripherals, software, communication, networking and consumer electronic products. This impressive demand trend is likely to have been conducive to SNX’s top line in the fiscal third quarter.

The increased usage of online and e-commerce services, along with the hybrid working trend, has been stoking the demand for cloud storage. Therefore, data center operators are enhancing their capacities to accommodate the demand spike for cloud services. This is likely to have aided TD SYNNEX’s data center servers and storage solution businesses in the fiscal third quarter.

Additionally, TD SYNNEX’s fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from revenue contributions from the newly merged Tech Data Corporation business. A steady IT spending environment due to rapid digital transformation is anticipated to have boosted the top line.

However, the positive impact of the aforementioned factors might have been partially offset by prevailing supply-chain disruptions caused by the pandemic. Foreign-exchange headwinds are expected to have been an added concern.
