Arrow (ARW) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Arrow Electronics (ARW - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 3.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 18.6%.
For the fourth quarter, Arrow projects revenues in the range of $8.55-$9.15 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $8.85 billion, suggesting a 4.7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Additionally, ARW forecasts adjusted earnings per share in the range of $4.37-$4.53. The consensus mark for earnings stands at $4.42 per share, calling for a 39.4% year-over-year increase.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before this announcement.
Arrow’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from high demand for its electronic components. Further, America is anticipated to have registered higher revenues, which typically generate high margins. This is likely to have boosted the profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.
The solid uptrend in design activity across all regions is also anticipated to have boosted the top line in the fourth quarter. Strong demand for the infrastructure software, next-generation hardware and hybrid cloud architectures are expected to have aided the quarterly performance.
Arrow’s core strength of providing best-in-class services and easy-to-acquire technologies is likely to have fueled growth in the to-be-reported quarter. Its continued focus on boosting the Internet of things capabilities is likely to have helped it expand in newer markets and gain customers.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Global Component segment’s revenues is pegged at $6.5 billion, calling for an approximately 10% year-over-year increase. The consensus mark for the Global ECS division’s sales stands at $2.35 billion, indicating a year-over-year decline of 7.2%.
Also, efficient cost-reduction programs are expected to have been an upside for margins during the fiscal fourth quarter.
However, headwinds related to the pandemic, including supply-chain challenges, might have prevailed through the fourth quarter. Also, lower pricing and higher logistics costs might have partially offset the benefits of cost-saving initiatives for margins.
