Let us see how things are shaping up for Bel Fuse prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
Bel Fuse’s third-quarter 2023 results are expected to benefit from strength in end customer demand. It has been benefiting from the rising adoption of its solutions in certain end markets, including commercial air, military and e-mobility.
The Magnetics segment revenues are expected to have improved in the to-be-reported quarter.
The easing of component availability and normalizing lead times are expected to have reduced the overall backlog in the to-be-reported quarter. Bel Fuse’s overall backlog declined by 20% sequentially to $450 million in second-quarter 2023.
Bel Fuse’s expanding product portfolio, increasing demand and a favorable shift in product mix are expected to have bolstered its top-line growth in the third quarter of 2023.
Key Quarter Developments
During the to-be-reported quarter, Bel Fuse announced the divestiture of Stewart Czech business to PEI-Genesis as part of its broader focus strategy.
This divestment allows the Connectivity Solutions group to focus on its core product categories serving customer end markets such as commercial air, defense, industrial and networking that better align with its long-term growth objectives.
