Read MoreHide Full Article

Boxlight Corporation (BOXL - Free Report) will report third-quarter 2020 results on Nov 16 after the bell.

The company’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. It delivered a negative earnings surprise of 28% in the last four quarters, on average.

Q3 Expectations

Coronavirus-led disruptions in the education industry are expected to have negatively impacted Boxlight’s financial performance in the to-be-reported quarter. School closures and technical complications in distance learning are likely to have impacted demand for the company’s products.

Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $11.5 million, indicating a 0.9% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Revenues decreased 28% year over year to $7.8 million in first-quarter 2020.

The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at breakeven. The company reported loss of a penny in the second quarter of 2020 and loss of 3 cents in the second quarter of 2019.
