Calix (CALX) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Calix, Inc. CALX is set to report first-quarter 2021 results on Apr 27, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 32.4%. It pulled off a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 77.1%, on average.
This San Jose, CA-based cloud and software platforms provider is expected to have recorded higher revenues year over year, driven by solid demand and ramp-up of new offerings. The company continues to benefit from the diversity of its products, services and customers.
Factors at Play
Calix is focused on providing the platforms that enable service providers to create services at a DevOps pace. During the first quarter, TransWorld Network, Corp. selected Calix’s end-to-end solutions and services to accelerate its fiber-network buildout across the United States. Utah-based telco cooperative, STRATA Networks, chose the entire Calix Revenue EDGE solution to provide a better Wi-Fi 6 experience to its members.
Novus Entertainment Inc. opted for the Intelligent Access EDGE and Revenue EDGE solutions to cost-effectively deliver the fastest residential broadband service in Western Canada. These developments are likely to have had a positive impact on the company’s top line.
For the March quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $150 million, indicating growth of 47.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings per share is pegged at 20 cents, which suggests an increase of 600%.
