Factors to Note Ahead of NetApp's (NTAP) Q2 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
NetApp (NTAP - Free Report) is slated to release second-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on Nov 28.
The company projects fiscal second-quarter non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) to be between $1.35 and $1.45. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.40, suggesting a 5.4% decline from a year ago.
Net revenues are anticipated in the range of $1.455-$1.605 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.53 billion, implying an 8% dip year over year.
NTAP beat estimates in each of the last four quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 9.2%.
NetApp’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter is likely to have been affected due to weakness in global macroeconomic conditions, softening IT spending environment and cloud cost optimization efforts by clients.
Also, unfavorable forex movements, volatile supply-chain dynamics, increases in freight and logistical expenses are expected to have acted as headwinds.
Nonetheless, the company’s performance is likely to have benefited from data-driven digital and cloud transformations involving business analytics, artificial intelligence, data security, and application modernization.
Frequent product launches, extensive cost discipline, strengthening go-to-market activities and various cloud collaborations remain major positives.
The Hybrid Cloud business is likely to have gained from healthy uptake of ASA (All-Flash SAN Array) A-Series. Strong demand for AFF (All-Flash Array) C-Series and AFF A150 series is likely to have acted as a tailwind. Our estimate for hybrid cloud products is pegged at $1,372.4 million, indicating a year-over-year fall of 9.8%.
Softness in subscription services might have weighed down on the Public Cloud Services business’ top-line performance. However, momentum in first-party and marketplace consumption services is likely to have provided some cushioning. Our estimate for public cloud products is pegged at $156.9 million, reflecting a year-over-year rise of 10.5%.
