TD SYNNEX SNX is expected to announce its fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jan 9.
Projections indicate that TD SYNNEX anticipates revenues ranging from $14 billion to $15 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter. Market consensus estimates the quarterly revenues to be around $14.54 billion, signifying a drop of 10.5% compared to the prior-year period.
Additionally, SNX forecasts non-GAAP earnings between $2.40 and $2.90 per share for the fiscal fourth quarter. The consensus estimate of $2.69 for quarterly earnings suggests a year-over-year decrease of about 21.8% from the year-ago quarter’s $3.44 per share.
While the company’s earnings exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice in the trailing four quarters, there was one instance of falling short, with an average surprise of 7.8%.
Factors at Play
TD SYNNEX’s fourth-quarter revenues may have been negatively impacted by reduced IT spending, stemming from enterprises postponing major IT expenditure due to a weak global economy amid prevailing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges.
The diminishing demand for the company’s Endpoint Solutions, following the softness in PC demand post-pandemic, might have adversely affected its fourth-quarter performance. However, rising sales across the Advanced Solutions portfolio and high-growth technologies, driven by cloud and data center-related technologies, are expected to have mitigated the softness in Endpoint Solutions sales to a certain extent.
The surge in online and e-commerce services usage, coupled with the hybrid working trend, has led to an increased demand for cloud storage. Consequently, data center operators are expanding their capacities to accommodate the spike in demand for cloud services. This is likely to have supported SNX’s data center servers and storage solution businesses in the fiscal fourth quarter.
It is anticipated that the higher interest rate might have adversely affected TD SYNNEX’s bottom-line performance. In the third quarter, the company’s non-GAAP earnings per share increased by 1.5% year over year, largely propelled by a greater mix of higher-margin high-growth portfolio, partially offset by lower revenues and a $16 million headwind from increased interest expenses.
