What's in Store for LG Display (LPL) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
LG Display (LPL - Free Report) is expected to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 22.
Over the trailing four quarters, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice for as many misses, the average surprise being 47.8%.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings climbed 31.8% year over year to 29 cents per share but missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 40 cents. Net sales surged 63.6% to $6.18 billion but fell short of the consensus mark of $6.21 billion.
For the second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.39 billion, suggesting a 46.8% jump from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at 44 cents, calling for a significant improvement from the loss of 58 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Key factors
LG Display’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from healthy demand for its display panels from PC vendors. PC vendors are witnessing heightened demand for notebooks and desktops amid the COVID-19 pandemic-induced remote working and online learning trends.
Travel restrictions and social-distancing measures amid the pandemic are driving demand for televisions as people need entertainment devices at their homes. This trend is anticipated to have boosted demand for LG Display’s TFT-LCD and OLED technology-based display panels during the to-be-reported quarter.
Strong sales for smartphones are also likely to have spurred demand for the company’s display panels during the quarter under review.
