Analog Devices has been benefiting from strength in industrial, automotive, consumer and communications markets, along with increased focus on innovation and operational execution. These remain positives for the to-be-reported quarter as well.
The automotive electronics market should gain from consumer demand for added technology and features in new vehicles, along with the transition to hybrid and electric vehicles. Therefore, we expect automotive revenues to further increase in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for automotive revenues is pegged at $237 million.
Also, the communications market should perform well in the quarter to be reported, driven by strength in the wireless segment. The accelerated build out of TD-LTE in China, continuing 4G network densification activities in the United States and expected deployments in Europe should benefit the communications segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for communications is pegged at $294 million.
However, softness in the consumer market is a major negative. Also, macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical uncertainty remained overhangs during the quarter. Further, rising competitive pressure from Maxim and Texas Instruments may impact its upcoming results.
For the fiscal third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from industrial and consumer is pegged at $754 million and $166 million, respectively.
Earnings Whispers
Per our proven model, a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) to beat earnings estimates. That is not the case here as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for the stock is 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Currently, Analog Devices has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), which when combined with a 0.00% ESP makes surprise prediction difficult.
We caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 and 5 (Strong Sell) going into the earnings announcement.
Stocks to Consider
We see a likely earnings beat for each of the following companies in the upcoming releases:
Teradyne, Inc. (TER - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.23% and a Zacks Rank #2.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN - Free Report) has an Earnings ESP of +0.50% and a Zacks Rank #2.
The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce ""the world's first trillionaires,"" but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
