For the fiscal second quarter, Semtech anticipates revenues to be $256 million (+/- $5 million). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $256 million, indicating a rise of 18.9% from the year-ago quarter.
SMTC anticipates non-GAAP earnings per share to be 40 cents (+/- 3 cents). The consensus mark for the same is pegged at 40 cents, unchanged over the past 60 days, indicating a robust improvement from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 11 cents.
Factors to Consider for SMTC
Semtech’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strength across its infrastructure and high-end consumer end markets. Similarly, the wireless end-market is likely to have witnessed strong growth owing to SMTC’s increasing 5G offerings. Semtech’s launch of cost-optimized 5G solutions, including EM9492 and EM9295 modules, is likely to be adopted by telecom carriers. Increased compliance with certifications, including FCC, PTCRB for its EM8695 5G RedCap module and ISED, CE, JRF, and NCC certifications for its HL7900 Global 5G LPWA module, is likely to have boosted its adoption among global networking carriers.
Strong Momentum across its Signal Integrity and Analog Mixed Signal & Wireless product lines is expected to have contributed well. The growing adoption of artificial intelligence might have been a plus for the upcoming quarter.
Growing traction across hyperscale data center applications on the back of Tri-Edge and FiberEdge transimpedance amplifier products is expected to have aided SMTC’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Robust demand for the company’s CopperEdge linear redrivers for Active Copper Cable applications is likely to have driven Semtech’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The increasing demand for LoRa devices and LoRaWAN standards is expected to have contributed positively to top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter. The availability of its one-channel LoRaWAN hub reference design and evaluation kit targeting smaller-scale network deployments, such as for SMB/SME and smart home applications, is anticipated to impact its second-quarter results positively.
However, macroeconomic challenges, including the protracted inflationary conditions and still-high interest rates, are likely to have posed challenges for the company in the fiscal second quarter. Additionally, escalating tensions between the United States and China might have raised concerns. Softness in the industrial end-market and the Connectivity segment is expected to have been a major negative.
