Read MoreHide Full Article

TD SYNNEX (SNX - Free Report) shares plunged 5% on Tuesday after the company reported lower-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2023 results. The company reported second-quarter non-GAAP earnings of $2.43 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.50 per share and decreased 10.7% year over year. The decline in the bottom line was primarily caused by lower revenues and increased interest expenses.

Revenues of $14.1 billion decreased 7.9% year over year and missed the consensus mark of $14.37 billion. The year-over-year decline in the top line was mainly due to the weak demand for the company’s Endpoint Solutions amid softness in PC demand post-pandemic. This was partially offset by increased sales across the Advanced Solutions portfolio and high-growth technologies, with demand driven by cloud and data center-related technologies.

An unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate significantly impacted sales growth. On a constant-currency basis, second-quarter revenues decreased 7%.

Region-wise, although TD SYNNEX continues to witness strong demand for its technology products and services across the Asia-Pacific and Japan region (7.3% year-over-year growth), the remaining two regions, the Americas and Europe, witnessed a year-over-year decline of 11% and 4.1%, respectively.
