Read MoreHide Full Article
VMware is slated to release its first-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Jun 1.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been unchanged over the past 30 days at $1.57 per share, suggesting a 22.66% increase from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $3.31 billion, indicating a 7.15% increase from the year-ago reported number.
VMware’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the past four quarters, missing twice, the average negative earnings surprise being 4.29%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
VMware’s strong product portfolio, along with robust uptake of cloud and security solutions, is expected to have driven the top line in first-quarter fiscal 2024.
VMW’s top line is expected to have gained in the to-be-reported quarter from the ongoing new advancements in its Anywhere Workspace solutions, aiming to enhance automation capabilities and facilitate the process of IT modernization.
The company has been making improvements in its VMware Tanzu and VMware Aria platforms to support and expedite the development and delivery of modern applications. This is expected to have positively impacted the number of customers in the to-be-reported quarter.
A strong partner base, which includes Amazon, IBM and Google Cloud, is expected to have benefited VMware’s top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
