Resideo posted a big earnings beat in fiscal Q2
While Resideo stock has gotten hit with a big post-earnings pullback, the company actually delivered a sizable earnings beat in fiscal Q2. The business reported non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings per share of $0.83 in the quarter, surpassing the average analyst estimate by $0.15 per share, thanks in part to tariff refunds helping to spur a 70 basis point improvement for its gross margin. Revenue of $1.98 billion also topped the average analyst forecast by roughly $40 million. Even though sales and earnings for the period exceeded Wall Street's average targets, investors weren't happy with the smart-home tech specialist's outlook.
What's next for Resideo?
Resideo completed its spin-off of ADI Global Distribution at the beginning of this month, and it's now issuing forward guidance without the inclusion of contributions from the unit. The company says that it expects full-year sales to be between $2.9 billion and $2.95 billion and that adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) will be between $605 million and $625 million. The spin-off of ADI represents a major restructuring move for Resideo, and it may take some time for the market to settle on how to value the substantially altered corporate entity and get a more detailed read on its performance outlook.
