SiTime (SITM) Set to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
SiTime Corporation (SITM - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 2.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 53%.
For the fourth quarter, SiTime projects revenues to increase sequentially between 10% and 15%, which comes to a $69.3-$72.5 million range. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $71 million, suggesting a whopping 76.3% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of $40.3 million.
Additionally, SITM forecasts adjusted earnings per share in the range of $1.05-$1.15. The consensus mark for earnings stands at $1.09 per share, calling for a robust 153.5% year-over-year increase.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
Santa Clara, CA-based SiTime is a market leader in offering micro-electromechanical systems-based silicon timing system solutions. Its resonators and clock integrated circuits are used in automotive, the Internet of things (IoT), mobile and wearables, consumer and aerospace defense.
The company’s fourth-quarter top line is likely to have benefited from strong order momentum as the need for timing solutions with higher precision, smaller size and higher resilience skyrockets and SiTime’s solutions find their way into an increasing number of connected devices present around us.
SiTime’s sales to the automotive end market are expected to have continued the growth momentum due to the increased popularity of electric vehicles, which use more electronics than the average car. Continuous design wins for applications like servers, high-speed Internet, SmartNICs and acceleration cards are likely to have boosted the company’s fourth-quarter top line.
However, the ongoing supply-chain constraint is anticipated to have hurt overall financial results during the fourth quarter. On its last earnings conference call, SiTime stated that current supply-chain headwinds have resulted in increased product costs and the company expects these will increase further over time. Tight component supply along with increased product costs might have weighed on the company’s to-be-reported quarter’s profitability.
