Lenovo Group to Report Fiscal Second Quarter Results
Lenovo Group, the world's largest personal-computer maker, is set to release its fiscal second quarter results on Thursday. Here are the key details:
Net Profit Forecast
According to a FactSet poll of six analysts, Lenovo is expected to report a net profit of $236 million. This would be a decrease from $512 million in the same period last year. The company has prioritized improving profitability after experiencing a 66% profit decline in the first quarter.
Revenue Forecast
The FactSet poll also predicts a drop in revenue to $14.41 billion compared to $17.09 billion in the previous year.
What to Watch For
PC Demand
Lenovo's main devices segment, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other smart devices, has faced declining revenue due to a global downturn in PC demand. The company stated that its PC business is stabilizing and expects a recovery later this year, which investors will be interested in hearing more about.
China Rebound
In the first quarter, Lenovo experienced a 29% decline in revenue from China due to lower demand for PCs and infrastructure. Investors will be eager to learn about the strength of Lenovo's China sales in the second quarter.
Non-PC Businesses
Lenovo has expressed plans to invest further in non-PC areas such as accessories and work-collaboration solutions. Following their first-quarter results, the company sees potential opportunities in AI-related applications. Investors will be focusing on updates regarding Lenovo's infrastructure solutions business and AI chip developments.
