Read MoreHide Full Article

Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. (MAXN - Free Report) is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2023 results on Aug 10 after the closing bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 190.20%. Maxeon has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 36.65%, on average.

Factors to Note

Strong revenues and volumes from Maxeon’s distributed generation business are likely to have bolstered the company’s overall second-quarter revenues. A probable sales increase in panels, storage and EV charger products is also likely to have driven the second-quarter top line.

Region-wise, the European region is likely to have been a notable contributor to Maxeon’s second-quarter revenues. The second-quarter results are likely to reflect healthy revenue contributions from the United States, especially in the premium product segment. Moreover, the company’s contract with SunPower for solar panels is likely to have contributed to MAXN’s second-quarter revenues.  

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MAXN’s second-quarter revenues is pegged at $376.5 million, suggesting growth of 58.1% from the year-ago quarter.

A strong top line is expected to have aided the bottom of the company. A higher margin from the U.S. residential channel is likely to have positively contributed to the earnings of the company in the second quarter. The lower cost of goods sold is likely to have led to the margin expansion of the company, thus favorably contributing to its earnings.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of 18 cents per share, suggesting a notable improvement from the prior-year quarter’s reported loss of $2.15.
