AudioEye AEYE is slated to report second-quarter 2024 results on Jul 25.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $8.45 million, indicating an increase of 7.82% from the year-ago quarter's levels.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 10 cents per share, which has decreased 2 cents in the past 30 days.
The company's earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 100%.
Let's see how things have shaped prior to this announcement.
Factors to Consider
AudioEye's second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from higher demand for online services and strong business momentum.
Increasing momentum across channels, including The Partner and Marketplace channel and SMB-focused marketplace products, is likely to have affected AEYE's performance.
In the first quarter of 2024, AudioEye received its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 report. Achieving SOC 2 Type 1 compliance is another feature that will help the company support current enterprise customers and further penetrate the enterprise market. This is expected to have aided the company's top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
In the last reported quarter, AEYE's revenues increased 4% year over year to $8.1 million. The company expects revenues between $8.4 million and $8.5 million in the second quarter.
AEYE's revenues benefited in the previous quarter, mainly due to expansion of existing partners, and new partners contracting with AudioEye. This trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
Contributions from a robust partner base, which includes leading SaaS platforms that serve cities, municipalities and K-12, are expected to have contributed to AudioEye's revenues in the quarter under review.
