Read MoreHide Full Article

TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) reported mixed results for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, wherein earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate while revenues topped the same. However, both metrics marked strong growth on a year-over-year basis.

The company’s fiscal third-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $2.74 per share narrowly missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.75 but increased 28% year over year. Revenues jumped 194.9% year over year to $15.36 billion, surpassing the consensus mark of $15.11 billion. The upside was due to the inclusion of revenues from the last year’s merger of Tech Data Corporation.

TD SYNNEX was formerly known as SYNNEX Corporation, but the company changed its name after the acquisition of Tech Data Corporation in September 2021.

The company continues to witness strong demand for its technology products and services. In addition, a steady IT spending environment, backed by rapid digital transformations, was an upside. However, the prevailing industry-wide supply-chain constraints negatively impacted the top line.
