Plexus (PLXS) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Plexus Corp (PLXS - Free Report) is slated to report fiscal fourth-quarter 2023 results on Oct 25.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.02 billion, which suggests a decline of 9.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings per share (EPS) is pegged at $1.26, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 29.2%.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 20%, on average.
For fiscal fourth-quarter 2023, the company projects revenues between $1 billion and $1.04 billion. GAAP EPS is expected to be in the range of $1.18-$1.26.
Plexus’s performance in the fiscal fourth quarter is likely to have benefited from new manufacturing contract wins. In the last reported quarter, the company won 30 manufacturing contracts worth $321 million in annualized revenues when fully ramped into production. Also, trailing four-quarter manufacturing wins totaled more than $968 million in annualized revenues.
The company anticipates its Aerospace and Defense segment to gain momentum owing to new program ramps and rising demand for its solutions in commercial aerospace amid weakness in the semiconductor capital equipment market. In the fiscal fourth quarter, the company expects a 10% rise in the Aerospace and Defense segment.
Also, the funnel of qualified manufacturing is expected to have benefited from customers outsourcing their internal manufacturing.
However, the company’s performance is likely to have been affected due to uncertainty prevailing over global macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical instability and supply-chain disruptions. Customer concentration risks and stiff competition are further concerns.
The company’s industrial segment is likely to have suffered owing to incremental weakness in semiconductor capital equipment and modest softening in some of its industrial markets. In the fiscal fourth quarter, the company expects a mid-single-digit decline in the industrial sector.
