The company’s earnings surprise history has been impressive. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four reported quarters and missed twice, with the average earnings surprise being 159.9%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is $660.6 million, implying 20.2% growth over the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Multiple factors are likely to have boosted the top line. New deployment in the Northeast for GreenBox (now branded as Exol), coupled with strong start activity, disciplined project execution and continued progress with the development program, is likely to drive revenue growth.
The recent acquisition of Fox Robotics, which enhances SYM’s strategy of utilizing its software to orchestrate robots across the goods supply chain from the warehouse to the individual customer, is likely to have boosted the company’s operational efficiency.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Systems revenues is $612.1 million, indicating a 19.4% year-over-year increase, while revenues from Software Maintenance and Support are pegged at 11 million, suggesting a 64.1% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The consensus estimate for Operation Services revenues is anticipated to be $36 million, implying 21.8% year-over-year growth.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is 11 cents, indicating 375% year-over-year growth. We expect expanded margins, driven by structural operational enhancements, disciplined cost management and the addition of paid development programs, to have improved the bottom line.
