Read MoreHide Full Article
Jabil (JBL - Free Report) is set to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2019 results on Sep 24.
Notably, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 3.9%.
In third-quarter fiscal 2019, the company reported adjusted earnings of 57 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny. Revenues of $6.14 billion increased 12.8% year over year and comfortably surpassed the consensus mark of $6 billion.
For fourth-quarter fiscal 2019, Jabil expects total revenues between $6.3 billion and $6.9 billion. Revenues are expected to improve almost 14% year over year at mid-point.
Moreover, the company’s core earnings are expected to be 76-96 cents per share on a non-GAAP basis.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stayed at 86 cents over the past 30 days. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $6.61 billion, indicating growth of 14.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Watch
Jabil’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are expected to benefit from contract wins in healthcare, automotive, cloud and 5G. Moreover, improving end-market diversification is a key catalyst.
The DMS segment is likely to reflect benefits of an improved business mix, driven by Jabil’s impressive diversification efforts. EMS growth is likely to have benefited from new business wins in 5G wireless, cloud and automotive end markets.
However, Jabil’s DMS segment’s performance is expected to suffer from soft mobility business and sluggish spending in the semiconductor capital equipment business. Moreover, increasing competition in the industry is weighing on margins.
