Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $117.4 million, which is up 112% year-over-year, beating our consensus estimate of $115.64 million.
Applied Optoelectronics is calling for revenues between $107 million and $115 million during the third-quarter of fiscal 2017. This range falls below our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter of $122.93 million, which is a large part of the reason the stock lost over 25% after hours.
