Yahoo Finance Can Higher Revenues Aid Monolithic Power (MPWR) Q3 Earnings?
Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. MPWR is scheduled to report third-quarter 2022 results on Oct 27, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 8.4%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 8%, on average.
The Kirkland, WA-based company is expected to have recorded year-over-year higher revenues, driven by solid demand across the automotive, industrial, computing and storage and communications markets. It is a leading provider of high-performance, semiconductor-based power electronics solutions.
Factors at Play
During the third quarter, Monolithic Power continued to invest in markets like industrial, server and communications that have strong growth potential over the long term. The ongoing adoption of cloud computing is driving demand for servers, which bodes well for the company’s power management solutions. This is likely to have translated into incremental revenues in the quarter.
Management has stated that the company is winning increasing dollar content in the automotive market. Moreover, its deep-rooted partnerships with leading auto suppliers will likely boost the top line. Monolithic has a strong growth opportunity due to its robust product portfolio that targets In-Car connectivity and infotainment, advanced driver assistance system and rapid adoption of LED lighting in cars and vehicles. Apart from automotive, continued investments in markets like industrial, server and communications will likely be reflected in the upcoming results.
For the September quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $490 million, which indicates growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure of $324 million.
