Factors to Note Ahead of NXT’s Q4 Results

Solid deliveries of its solar tracking products and software, backed by growing solar demand, are likely to have boosted Nextracker’s top-line performance in the fiscal fourth quarter.

Region-wise, NXT is expected to have witnessed solid sales growth from the United States as well as the international market, including Latin America, Europe, Australia and the MEIA region of the Middle East, India and Africa. Notably, in the fiscal third quarter, the company signed 15 new projects, each with a capacity in the range of 100-750 megawatts in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Europe, India, Peru and Saudi Arabia. These projects are likely to have boosted Nextracker’s revenues in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $828.3 million, indicating a 12.5% 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 and development, including software enhancements through additional headcount, its fiscal fourth-quarter results are likely to reflect higher R&D expenses.

Nevertheless, solid revenue growth is likely to have bolstered NXT’s overall bottom-line performance. Also, reduced cost of sales due to 45X credit earned on components manufactured in the United States is expected to have benefited its earnings.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 98 cents per share, implying an improvement of 2.1% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
