What's in the Offing for DXC Technology's (DXC) Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
DXC Technology Company’s (DXC - Free Report) second-quarter fiscal 2022 results are scheduled to be out on Nov 3.
For the fiscal second quarter, the company anticipates revenues between $4.08 billion and $4.13 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pinned at $4.12 billion, calling for a 9.5% year-over-year decline.
Moreover, DXC expects non-GAAP earnings to come in at 80-84 cents per share. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 84 cents per share, suggesting a 31.3% year-over-year jump.
The company’s earnings outpaced estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 35.4%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to the upcoming announcement.
DXC’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strength in the digital business and partnerships that are helping it expand in the cloud computing space. Also, increasing IT spending is anticipated to have aided the top-line performance during the quarter under review.
DXC’s top line will, however, likely reflect the negative impact of price concessions, previous business terminations, and runoffs during the fiscal second quarter. Apart from this, a weak traditional business might have dampened the top line during the quarter under review. However, sequential revenue stabilization is expected to have continued.
Margins are anticipated to have witnessed expansion during the period in discussion, mainly driven by the company’s cost-saving initiatives and lower interest expenses.
Also, a book-to-bill higher than 1.0 is likely to have been a positive during the fiscal second quarter.
The company’s focus on reducing debt via divestments is estimated to have resulted in a sequentially stronger balance sheet.
