Key Factors to Note
The solid execution of TE Connectivity’s strategies, especially price increases and content outperformance through electric vehicles (EV), is expected to have been the key catalysts in the fiscal third quarter.
TEL’s global manufacturing strategy is anticipated to have benefited its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Organic growth in the Energy segment, driven by a broad renewable applications portfolio, wind or solar, is expected to continue. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures is likely to have expanded expected margins sequentially for the Industrial segment.
All these factors are anticipated to have impacted the Industrial segment in the quarter under review. Our model estimate for industrial solutions sales is pegged at $1.17 billion, implying growth of 3.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
A strong global position in the EV market, subjected to design wins and high voltage connectivity products, is likely to reflect positively in the Transportation segment. Increased stability in supply chain transportation is expected to have exponentially increased the growth of orders. Pricing actions implemented to offset inflationary impacts are likely to have driven margin expansion in the segment.
However, sluggishness in sensor and commercial transportation businesses is expected to have impacted the segment negatively. Also, the weakening momentum in China is likely to have been a concern.
Our model estimate for Transportation segment sales is pegged at $2.28 billion, suggesting a 0.8% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Coming to the Communication segment, market weakness and inventory corrections are expected to have impacted both the appliance and data and devices market negatively.
Our model estimate for Communication segment sales is pegged at $552.7 million, indicating a decline of 16.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
