Read MoreHide Full Article

GigaCloud Technology Inc. (GCT - Free Report) is scheduled to report its first-quarter 2024 results on May 9, before the bell.

We expect a significant year-over-year improvement in the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter, driven by an increase in both service and product revenues. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues stands at $235 million, indicating 83.9% growth from the year-ago reported quarter.

We are expecting the company to report strong growth from last-mile delivery, ocean transportation, packaging and warehouse services in the quarter. Product revenues are expected to have been driven by an increase in the number of buyers and spend per active buyer. Product revenues from off-platform ecommerce are likely to have benefited from an increase in the number of sales channels and the sales in third-party off-platform ecommerce.

Robust sales along with strong operating performance are expected to have positively impacted the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for which is pegged at 51 cents, suggesting 30.8% year-over-year growth.

GCT currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
