NetApp (NTAP) to Report Q2 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
NetApp (NTAP - Free Report) is slated to release second-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Nov 29.
The company projects fiscal second-quarter non-GAAP earnings to be between $1.28 and $1.38 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.34 per share, suggesting a 4.7% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company expects net revenues in the range of $1.595-$1.745 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $1.67 billion, suggesting growth of 6.8% year over year.
The company beat estimates in each of the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 9.6%, on average.
Accelerating cloud migration and data-driven digital transformation by businesses across the globe are likely to have driven demand for NetApp’s product portfolio. The continuation of work-from-home and hybrid-work innovation are other driving factors. NetApp specializes in providing cloud services, systems and software to business organizations for optimal operations of applications from the data center to cloud.
NetApp’s strengthening go-to-market activities, various cloud collaborations and continued product innovation amid a robust demand environment are likely to have acted as additional tailwinds. Synergies from the buyouts of CloudCheckr and Data Mechanics bode well. NetApp’s recent buyouts include Fylamynt and Instaclustr.
For the fiscal second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Hybrid Cloud segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.52 billion. Strength in the company’s object storage and all-flash business is expected to have contributed to the Hybrid Cloud segment’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Software product revenues are likely to have gained from the favorable mix shift to the all-flash portfolio.
For the fiscal second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Public Cloud Services revenues is pegged at $151 million.
Renewed momentum in Spot by NetApp portfolio might have aided the Public Cloud Services business along with strong demand for other cloud solutions like Azure NetApp files, Cloud Volumes and Cloud Insights services. Spot by NetApp enables enterprises to make multi-cloud management easier and lower expenses at the same time. Incremental gains from an uptick in the company’s NetApp Astra solution and NetApp ONTAP data management software might have favored the top line.
However, unfavorable forex movements, lingering supply chain troubles and substantial increases in freight and logistical, and component costs are likely to have acted as headwinds.
