The company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 5.1%.
In the last reported quarter, Camtek posted non-GAAP earnings of 51 cents per share, up from 48 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. The figure also surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 48 cents per share. Revenues decreased 1.85% year over year to $80.47 million. However, the top line topped the consensus mark by 2.84%.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects revenues between $87 million and 89 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $88 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 7%. Further, the consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 52 cents per share, indicating an increase of 4% from the year-ago quarter.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this quarter.
Camtek’s fourth-quarter results are likely to gain from the rising adoption of advanced interconnect packaging technologies, such as heterogeneous integration (HI), which includes chiplet modules and high bandwidth memory.
CAMT’s strong product portfolio is likely to have strengthened its performance across all end markets during the to-be-reported quarter. The company’s solid metrology business is expected to have gained momentum with the support of its new advanced solutions.
Nevertheless, Camtek’s fourth-quarter overall financial performance is expected to have been hurt by softening IT spending. Enterprises are postponing their large IT spending plans due to a weakening global economic scenario amid ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic issues.
Moreover, the company’s sustained aggressive investment in research & development to comply with the technological road maps of HI technology is expected to have weighed on the bottom line.
