Read MoreHide Full Article
Fastly (FSLY - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 16.
For the fourth quarter, the company expects revenues between $347 million and $350 million. Adjusted loss is anticipated in the range of 58 cents to 55 cents per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth-quarter bottom line is currently pegged at a loss of 16 cents per share, which has remained unchanged over the past 30 days. The company had reported a loss of 40 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for the top line currently stands at $93.22 million, suggesting growth of 12.79% from the year-ago quarter.
Fastly’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, the average surprise being 13.70%.
Fastly’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from higher bandwidth usage. An expanding clientele might have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s top line.
Solid contribution from the Compute@Edge platform may have driven the to-be-reported quarter’s performance. Fastly’s top line is likely to reflect gains from the significant support that the company provides to enterprises dealing in e-commerce and entertainment.
Fastly’s expanding footprint across e-commerce, digital publishing, financial services, cryptocurrency and healthcare markets may have aided the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
