Nextracker (NXT) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nextracker Inc. (NXT - Free Report) is slated to report first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Aug 1, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 62.71%. It also delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 78.83%.
Factors to Note
Solid deliveries of its solar tracking products, backed by growing solar demand, are likely to have boosted Nextracker’s top-line performance in the fiscal first quarter.
Region-wise, we expect NXT to have witnessed solid sales growth from the United States as well as the international markets of India, Australia and Europe.
In terms of products, soaring bookings for the company’s NX Horizon tracker, Horizon XTR and NX Navigator product lines, along with the increased adoption of its TrueCapture software platform, backed by solid solar installation demand, must have bolstered NXT’s revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $618.1 million, indicating a 28.9% improvement from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
As Nextracker continues to increase its investments in research and development (R&D), with an emphasis on innovation, we may expect its fiscal first-quarter results to reflect higher R&D expenses. This might have affected its earnings to some extent.
Nevertheless, solid revenue growth, along with benefits from lowering material and logistics costs, is likely to have bolstered NXT’s overall bottom-line performance. The favorable impact of the 45X credit, established as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), must have added an impetus to NXT’s quarterly gross profit, thereby boosting its earnings growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter earnings is pegged at 66 cents per share, implying an improvement of 37.5% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
During the to-be-reported quarter, NXT bought Ojjo, which is a renewable energy company specializing in foundation technology and services used in utility-scale ground-mount applications for solar power generation. This acquisition is expected to have enhanced Nextracker’s addressable market opportunity for challenging soil conditions. We may receive more updates on favorable impacts from this acquisition, once NXT releases its quarterly results.
