Key Factors to Note

The impacts of TE Connectivity’s footprint-consolidation plans, stringent cost-cutting strategies and growing momentum across industrial, communications and transportation segments are expected to get reflected in the quarterly 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. Solid momentum among interventional procedures is likely to have driven its medical sales growth. 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 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.

However, weakening momentum across the appliance business might have been a concern.

Increasing overall auto production, along with the growing production of hybrid and electric vehicles, is likely to have contributed well to the 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.

However, sluggish demand for sensors is likely to have been a headwind for the transportation segment. Supply-chain disruptions induced by the ongoing pandemic are expected to be reflected in the to-be-reported quarterly results.
