The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 78.4%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Axon this earnings season.
Axon’s fourth-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from strength in the TASER segment due to strong demand for latest generation devices like TASER 7 and a solid backlog level.
Strong demand for Axon Cloud SaaS solutions, Axon Body 3 and Axon Fleet 3 systems are likely to have driven Axon’s Software and Sensors segment’s performance. The acquisition of Foundry 45, which has expanded the company’s presence in new markets globally, is expected to have boosted the company’s top line.
However, a decline in sales of Axon’s legacy TASER devices is likely to have weighed on the fourth-quarter performance. Reduced production capabilities due to supply-chain disruptions are likely to have affected the company's performance. Raw material cost inflation is expected to have dented the bottom line.
