Factors to Consider

SMART Global’s strong execution and solid momentum across Intelligent Platform Solutions are likely to have contributed well to its top-line growth in the fiscal fourth quarter.

Strengthening Penguin's cloud-based solutions and solutions focused on core, data center, AI and analytics are expected to have driven the company’s customer momentum in the quarter under review.

Solid adoption of core DDR3, DDR4 and Flash products is expected to have boosted SMART Global’s presence in the networking, telecom and storage end markets.

The increasing adoption of CV94D products and solid momentum in design wins across horticulture, indoor sports lighting and road signage applications are anticipated to have been other tailwinds in the quarter under review.

However, a challenging global macroeconomic environment and growing economic uncertainties are likely to be reflected in SMART Global’s fiscal fourth-quarter results.

A weakening momentum across memory and LED solutions might have been a major concern.
