The company’s earnings outpaced estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 15.7%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
DXC’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its strong customer retention rate and robust recurring revenues gained from its large global insurance carrier customers. DXC Technology is likely to have gained from the network modernization initiatives of its customers, aiding the company’s expansion in the cloud computing space.
DXC’s fiscal second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from its broadening artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities as AI is at the center of the digital transformation trend. DXC Technology’s partnerships with industry leaders, including Microsoft and Dell Technologies, to advance in the AI space are likely to contribute to the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2025 results.
DXC Technology’s focus on the still unpenetrated cyberspace, cloud computing market and Big Data business is likely to have helped DXC to benefit from this untapped opportunity. As DXC’s major portion of the cyber business revenues comes from government clients. It is likely to have kept its top line relatively stable. DXC Technology continues to expect positive top-line growth for its Global Business Services (GBS) segment.
Nevertheless, the benefits from the aforementioned factors are likely to have been offset by the negative impact of the softening IT spending as organizations are pushing back their investments in big and expensive technology products amid the ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical issues.
The company expects fiscal second-quarter organic revenues to decline in the range of 5.5-6.5%. The year-over-year expected organic revenue decrease is mainly due to the low existing backlog and lower number of value of new contracts being signed leading to diminished value.
Moreover, DXC Technology expects its GIS revenues to decline in the double-digit percentage range throughout the year. The revenue shortfall is likely to have weighed on the quarterly margins. The company projects the adjusted EBIT margin in the range of 6.5-7% in the fiscal second quarter.
However, DXC’s cost-saving initiatives and lower interest expenses are likely to have partially offset the negative impact of the revenue shortfall on the bottom line.
