Factors to Consider

Slow growth expectations for the top and bottom lines are mainly due to tough year-over-year comparisons as the merger of Tech Data Corporation in September 2021 suddenly boosted fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 revenues and earnings.

Furthermore, TD SYNNEX’s fourth-quarter revenues are likely to have been negatively impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. In its third-quarter results, the company stated that a stronger U.S. dollar against major currencies would negatively impact fourth-quarter revenues by approximately $700 million.

Additionally, enterprises are postponing their large IT spending plans due to a weakening global economy amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues. This may have hurt TD SYNNEX’s overall financial performance in the fourth quarter.

However, the increased demand for hardware and tools, which support hybrid working, is anticipated to have somewhat mitigated the negative impact of the aforementioned factors. The growing hybrid working trend has been driving the sales of peripherals, software, communication, networking and consumer electronic products.

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 SNX’s data center servers and storage solution businesses in the fiscal fourth quarter.
