Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors at Play
Synaptics’s second-quarter fiscal 2020 results are likely to reflect the growing adoption of its products among many of its tier-one OEM customers.
The company’s market leading position for both touchpads and secure fingerprint sensors in the PC market makes us optimistic about the impending quarterly release. New design wins across all the OEM leaders including Dell, HP and Lenovo are likely to have been a constant catalyst.
Additionally, with respect to the IoT business, the company’s solid prospects in the automotive segment and in edge SoC are anticipated to have been a tailwind.
Moreover, Synaptics’s focus on controlling operating expenses with more disciplined spends and selective project investments is expected to have boosted profitability. Further, contribution from high-end products in the Mobile segment might have driven the gross margin.
However, macroeconomic perils, given the highly volatile trade environment, persist as a key concern this earnings season.
Synaptics’s performance in the last reported quarter was driven by continued strength at Huawei. However, the company took a conservative view for Huawei exposure in the December quarter. Therefore, it remains to be seen that how much impact Huawei can make in the to-be-reported results.
Moreover, a fierce competition in the low-end of the Mobile market might have been a lingering headwind.
