Inphi (IPHI) Gears Up for Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Inphi Corporation is set to report fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 4. It delivered a positive earnings surprise of 21.6% in the last reported quarter.
The company topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, with average of 13.2%.
Q4 Forecasts
For the fourth quarter, the company expects revenues in the range of $97.8-$101.8 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $99.86 million, indicating growth of 15.4% from the year-ago quarter.
Non-GAAP earnings are expected in the range of $40-$50 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is currently pegged at 45 cents.
Performance in the Last Reported Quarter
Inphi had reported fourth-quarter 2019 non-GAAP earnings of 45 cents per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents.
Revenues of $94.2 million outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $89 millionand improved 20.8% on a year-over-year basis.
Inphi’s robust product portfolio is expected to have helped the company to expand top-line growth in the quarter. The company’s cloud products including PAM DSP products, Gearboxes, CDRs, COLORZ and Cloud TiAs continued to serve as growth drivers in the quarter.
Production ramp for PAM inside data centers is expected to have been strong during the fourth quarter. Also, M200 coherent DSP continued to ramp at multiple customers worldwide. In addition, strength of the 100-gig COLORZ module and M200 coherent DSP should have helped it to contribute to the revenue upside in the quarter.
The company’s legacy transport business is expected to have performed well in the to-be-reported quarter, driven by benefits from acquisitions.
However, the ongoing geopolitical condition, which includes the ongoing Huawei situation, is expected to affect its results to some extent. Also, headwinds from a few customers may negatively impact the results.
