Factors to Note Ahead of NXT’s Q2 Results
Solid deliveries of its solar tracking products, backed by growing solar demand, are likely to have boosted Nextracker’s top-line performance.
Region-wise, NXT is expected to have witnessed solid sales growth from the United States as well as the international market, particularly Europe.
In terms of product innovation, the company launched its agri PV solution and NX low carbon tracker in the fiscal first quarter and the NX Foundation Solution in the fiscal second quarter. These recent product innovations, along with several factory expansions that NXT undertook with its manufacturing partners, are likely to have favored its revenue performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $606.1 million, indicating a 5.7% improvement from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
As Nextracker continues to increase its investments in research and development (R&D), with an emphasis on innovation as well as development, including software enhancements through additional headcount, its fiscal second-quarter results are likely to reflect higher R&D expenses. This, along with increases in logistics and freight costs in recent times, is expected to have partially hurt NXT’s bottom-line performance.
Nevertheless, solid revenue growth is likely to have bolstered NXT’s overall bottom-line performance. The reduction in the cost of sales for 45X credits earned on components manufactured in the United States is anticipated to have added an impetus to its quarterly gross profit, thereby boosting its earnings growth. Also, structural enhancements implemented by NXT to its overall margin structure, including maintenance of pricing discipline and expansion of its global supply chain, are expected to have benefited its bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 66 cents per share, implying an improvement of 1.5% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
