UCTT expects third-quarter 2024 earnings between 22 cents and 42 cents per share. Revenues are anticipated between $490 million and $540 million.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at 36 cents per share over the past seven days. UCTT reported earnings of 4 cents in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $516.2 million, indicating an increase of 18.67% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
UCTT’s Q3 to Ride to Strong Product & Service Sales
UCTT’s continued strength in product and service sales across the globe, particularly the increased equipment spending in China, is expected to have driven revenues in the third quarter of 2024.
UCTT’s broad involvement in the semiconductor ecosystem, ranging from fab construction to supporting AI (artificial intelligence) innovation, positions it to greatly benefit from industry growth, especially with AI computing encouraging semiconductor content expansion.
Elevated demand for AI servers and devices is leading to investments in high-performance chips and advanced packaging. This is expected to have driven up UCTT’s third-quarter sales of semiconductor-related products.
UCTT has also been making investments in capacity expansion, such as ramping up production at its Malaysia facility. It is, therefore, poised to support future growth, and may have also contributed to the increased third-quarter revenues.
UCTT has been focusing on site optimization, including automation and shifting production to lower-cost regions. As a result, operating expenses decreased to 10.8% of revenues in the second-quarter of 2024, compared with 11.4% in the first quarter of the year. Lower expenses are expected to have benefited UCTT’s margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
