Q4 Expectations
The consensus estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $2.4 billion, indicating 5.9% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. A number of factors are expected to have driven the anticipated top-line growth, such as strong demand for solutions, headcount growth, higher staff utilization, and contributions from the EverWatch acquisition in the fiscal third quarter.
The consensus estimate for EPS in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 91 cents, indicating 5.8% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. This expected increase is likely to have been driven by revenue growth, solid contract-level performance and cost management.
