Read MoreHide Full Article

Lattice Semiconductor (LSCC - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2023 results on May 1.

For the first quarter, LSCC expects revenues between $175 million and $185 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $179.93 million, indicating growth of 19.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported value.

The consensus mark for earnings per share is pegged at 50 cents, indicating a 35.1% rise from the previous-year quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has been unchanged over the past 30 days.

Lattice Semiconductor’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average being 7.07%.

Key Factors to Note

Strong customer momentum on the back of a robust product portfolio is likely to have benefited Lattice Semiconductor’s performance in the first quarter.

Increasing investment in the software portfolio to accelerate the customer adoption of Lattice Semiconductor’s products is likely to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported-quarter.

Content expansion and data center servers, 5G wireless infrastructure and data center networking are expected to have been major growth drivers for Lattice Semiconductor in the communications and computing market. Additionally, growing greenfield client computing design wins might have been a positive.

Further, growing momentum across multiple applications such as industrial, automation and robotics, ADAS and infotainment systems is expected to have bolstered the company’s presence in the industrial and automotive markets during the quarter under review.

The growing adoption of the Nexus platform across all market segments and strong customer engagement on the Avant platform are expected to have remained a tailwind in the quarter under discussion.

The introduction of the Lattice Avant mid-range FPGA platform, which doubles the addressable market of the company, is likely to impact the upcoming quarterly results positively.

However, softness in the consumer electronics end market due to challenging macroeconomic conditions and mounting expenses are expected to have hurt LSCC’s profitability in the quarter under review.

Further, global supply challenges might have been concerns for the company.
