Plexus Corp (PLXS) to Post Q3 Earnings: Key Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Plexus Corp (PLXS - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2023 results on Jul 26.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.03 billion, which suggests growth of 4.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $1.15, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 13.5%.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 21.6%, on average.
For third-quarter fiscal 2023, the company projects revenues between $1 billion and $1.05 billion. Non-GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.05-$1.23, including 19 cents of stock-based compensation expenses, but excludes 29 cents in restructuring charges.
Plexus’s performance in the fiscal third quarter is likely to have benefited from new manufacturing contract wins. In the last reported quarter, the company won 31 manufacturing contracts worth $275 million in annualized revenues when fully ramped into production. Also, trailing four-quarter manufacturing wins totaled more than $847 million in annualized revenues.
The company anticipates its Aerospace and Defense segment to gain momentum owing to new program ramps and rising demand for its solutions in commercial aerospace. In the third quarter, the company expects a mid-single-digit decline in the Aerospace and Defense segment.
Also, the funnel of qualified manufacturing is expected to have benefited from customers re-evaluating their internal manufacturing strategies. Additionally, Plexus is making considerable strides in its global energy-saving activities, lowering the relative electricity use at its production facilities by almost 10%.
However, the company’s performance is likely to have been affected due to uncertainty prevailing over global macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability and supply-chain disruptions. Customer concentration risks and stiff competition are further concerns.
