Will Higher Revenues Benefit Keysight (KEYS) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Nov 17 after the market closes. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 12.3%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 9.3%, on average. The Santa Rosa, CA-based electronic design company is expected to have recorded year-over-year higher revenues due to increased sales from the Communications Solutions Group and Electronic Industrial Solutions Group.
Factors at Play
In the fiscal fourth quarter, Keysight collaborated with Flexium Interconnect, Inc. to augment its product portfolio in tune with the evolving demand patterns. The partnership aims to improve millimeter-wave modules and material test accuracy and efficiency as demand for millimeter wave is gradually rising. The collaboration intends to accelerate advanced designs in high-frequency and multi-layer antenna modules and explore related opportunities within autonomous vehicles.
During the to-be-reported quarter, Keysight collaborated with Jiyun Technologies as part of its concerted efforts to shift to e-mobility for commercial vehicles. The partnership will likely help accelerate the development and improvement of battery cells for electric vehicles (EVs) for customized battery life optimization and key actionable insights. Such collaborations are likely to be reflected in the upcoming results.
In the fiscal fourth quarter, the company announced that Scania, part of Volkswagen Group, will deploy its Scienlab test systems at its research and development facility in Sweden as part of the latter’s efforts to shift to e-mobility for commercial vehicles. The comprehensive test solutions will likely help accelerate the development and improvement of battery cells for electric vehicles for customized battery life optimization and key actionable insights. The consensus estimate for revenues from Electronic Industrial Solutions Group stands at $407 million, which implies an increase from $375 million reported a year ago.
During the quarter, Keysight collaborated with Nokia to successfully demonstrate the first public 800GE test to validate the readiness of next-generation optics for service providers and network operators. It also announced that Xiaomi selected its 5G device test solutions to accelerate 5G Release 16 device validation for the latest 3GPP 5G new radio features and specifications. The consensus estimate for revenues from Communications Solutions Group stands at $988 million, which implies an increase from $919 million reported a year ago.
For the September quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pegged at $1,400 million, which indicates growth of 8.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share stands at $1.99, suggesting an increase of 9.3% year over year.
