What's in the Offing for Ambarella (AMBA) in Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ambarella Inc. (AMBA - Free Report) is slated to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Feb 28.
For the fourth quarter, Ambarella anticipates revenues between $88.5 million and $91.5 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the same is pegged at $90.5 million, suggesting growth of 45.6% from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at 43 cents per share, which indicates a whopping improvement of 207% from the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 14 cents.
For the quarter under review, Ambarella anticipates non-GAAP gross margin of 63-64% approximately. Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected in the range of $39-$41 million.
The Santa Clara, CA-based company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 41.7%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for AMBA before this announcement.
Ambarella’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are anticipated to reflect strong design wins and customer engagement with its AI-enabled video-processing chips in the consumer security camera.
Automotive and Internet of Things cameras might have driven the performance in the quarter to be reported. Although high supply-chain costs may have persisted, a favorable customer and product mix, along with a stable pricing environment, is likely to have aided the gross-margin expansion beyond the high end of the long-term estimate of 59-62%.
The company is benefiting from the solid momentum in CV2, CV22 and CV25. In fiscal 2021, these products generated production revenues from 1,000 customers.
Moreover, during the fiscal third quarter, Ambarella witnessed an increase in the blended average selling price (ASP) on solid demand for CV SoC, which carries a higher ASP compared with non-CV solutions. The trend is likely to have sustained in the fiscal fourth quarter.
However, the tight chip supply from Samsung’s Texas and Austin foundries may have weighed on Ambarella’s sales growth in the quarter under review. Industry-wide component supply-chain constraints are likely to have negatively impacted the company’s capability to meet its customers’ demand in the fourth quarter, which consequently might have hurt overall sales.
