Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.

Factors to Consider

SYNNEX’s third-quarter fiscal 2019 results are likely to benefit from the successful integration of Convergys business, which is will further boost its Concentrix revenues.

Moreover, new business wins backed by the growing footprint and enhanced capabilities of all its new consolidations are likely to be the key catalysts.

The company expects its overall business to perform in line with the historical seasonal trends during the fiscal third quarter and achieve a double-digit non-GAAP operating profit margin.

In the fiscal third quarter, Technology Solutions segment is envisioned to perform within seasonal norms. Growth in the underlying market and channel as the company focuses on incremental revenue opportunities is encouraging.

However, growing macroeconomic challenges are a major concern for the company this earnings season. Further, increase in employee compensation may keep margins under pressure. Additionally, adverse foreign exchange fluctuations persist as a headwind.
