Key Tronic Says Operations And Corporate Functions Have Been Restored, And We Believe That The Unauthorized Third Party No Longer Has Access To The Company's IT Systems; Says Determined That The Threat Actor Accessed And Exfiltrated Limited Data From The Company's Environment, Which Includes Some Personally Identifiable Information

Key Tronic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTCC#NASDAQ">KTCC</a>) reported quarterly losses of $(0.21) per share. This is a 216.67 percent decrease over earnings of $0.18 per share from the same period last year. The company reported $140.53 million in sales this quarter. This is a 14.60 percent decrease over sales of $164.55 million the same period last year.

Earnings

Key Tronic Q3 EPS $(0.21) Down From $0.18 YoY, Sales $140.53M Down From $164.55M YoY

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $135 million to $145 million and earnings in the range of $0.00 to $0.10 per diluted share.
The revenue and earnings estimates for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2024, and the finalization of financial results for the third quarter of 2024, are subject to completion of the Company's quarterly close and review procedures which are still ongoing. The Company plans to report its complete results and host its earnings conference call for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 on May 7, 2024. Details for the conference call have been announced in a separate press release.

Guidance

Key Tronic Corporation Sees Q4 2024 EPS $0.00-$0.10; Revenue $135M-$145M

Key Tronic Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTCC#NASDAQ">KTCC</a>), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its preliminary results for the three months ended March 30, 2024.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, Key Tronic expects to report revenue of approximately $140 million, in line with revenue expectations, and a net loss of approximately ($0.18) to ($0.23) per share, which is below expectations.
The lower than expected earnings are primarily a result of severance costs of approximately $3.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, as the Company reduced its workforce by over 450 employees in Mexico. Moreover, the severance costs were incurred late in the third quarter, which limited the previously planned payroll expense reductions anticipated in the third quarter. The workforce reduction reflects softening demand for a number of different programs with high labor content and is expected to save more than $10 million annually.
Key Tronic expects production levels from Mexico-based facilities to recover in coming quarters due to recently won programs. The Company does not anticipate needing to increase its net headcount in coming periods, which would reflect significant improvements to operating efficiencies.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, Key Tronic's facilities in Mississippi and Arkansas were also offline for approximately two weeks due to severe winter weather events, resulting in unanticipated lost production capacity incurring a loss of contribution margin of approximately $1 million or $0.07 per diluted share. The Company also continued to be adversely impacted by the strengthening of the Mexican Peso by approximately 5% , increasing expenses by approximately $1.5 million or $0.11 per diluted share.

Key Tronic Corporation Announces Preliminary Q3 EPS $(0.18)-$(0.23); Revenue ~$140M; Says Lower Than Expected Earnings Are Primarily A Result Of Severance Costs Of ~$3.7M, Or $0.27 Per Diluted Share, As The Company Reduced Its Workforce By Over 450 Employees In Mexico

Key Tronic Sees Q3 2024 EPS $0.00-$0.15; Revenue $135M-$145M

CORRECTION: Key Tronic Q2 2024 EPS $0.10 Up From $0.09 YoY; Revenue $145.4M Up From $123.7M YoY

Key Tronic Corporation Sees Q2 2024 EPS $0.05-0.10; Revenue $135M-$145M

Key Tronic Corporation Q1 2024 EPS $0.03 Down From $0.11 YoY, Revenue $147.8M Up From $137.3M YoY

Key Tronic Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTCC#NASDAQ">KTCC</a>), a provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), today announced its preliminary results for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
&nbsp;
For the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Keytronic expects to report revenue of approximately $147.7 million, in line with revenue expectations, and earnings of approximately $0.02 per share, which are below expectations.
The lower than expected earnings are primarily a result of unanticipated severance costs of $0.6 million, or approximately $0.04 to $0.05 per diluted share, as the Company reduced its workforce by over 100 employees in Mexico and in the US. The workforce reduction reflects softening demand for a number of different programs and is expected to save more than $5 million annually. While we expect increased demand for many of these Mexico-based customers towards the second half of fiscal year 2024, we now anticipate production for the previously announced program with a leading power equipment company to resume materially in fiscal 2025 rather than 2024, with a redesigned product.
Keytronic also continues to be adversely impacted by the strength of the Mexican Peso and high interest expense, though we are seeing some gradual improvement with gross margins. At the same time, we continue to win significant new programs and reduce inventories to be more in line with current revenue levels.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company expects to report revenue in the range of $135 million to $145 million and earnings in the range of $0.05 to $0.10 per diluted share.
The revenue and earnings estimates for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024, and the finalization of financial results for the first quarter of 2024, are subject to completion of the Company&#39;s quarterly close and review procedures which are still ongoing. The Company plans to report its complete results and host its earnings conference call for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 on October 31, 2023. Details for the conference call have been announced in a separate press release.

Keytronic Corporation Announces Preliminary Results For Q1 FY24; Expects To Report EPS Of $0.02; Revenue Of $147.7M; Sees Q2 EPS Range Of $0.05-$0.10; Revenue In The Range Of $135M-$145M

<h3>Understanding Value Stocks</h3>
A value stock is traditionally defined in terms of how investors in the marketplace are valuing that company's future growth prospects. Low P/E multiples are good base indicators that the company is undervalued and can most likely be labelled as a value stock. 
<h2>Benzinga Insights has compiled a list of value stocks in the technology sector that may be worth watching:</h2>
<ol>
<li>IBEX (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBEX#NASDAQ">IBEX</a>) - P/E: 9.4</li>
<li>Key Tronic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTCC#NASDAQ">KTCC</a>) - P/E: 8.89</li>
<li>Canadian Solar (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSIQ#NASDAQ">CSIQ</a>) - P/E: 3.59</li>
<li>ScanSource (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCSC#NASDAQ">SCSC</a>) - P/E: 8.86</li>
<li>Tingo Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TIO#NASDAQ">TIO</a>) - P/E: 2.28</li>
</ol>
IBEX's earnings per share for Q4 sits at $0.33, whereas in Q3, they were at 0.59. Key Tronic saw a decrease in earnings per share from 0.18 in Q3 to $0.1 now. Most recently, Canadian Solar reported earnings per share at $2.39, whereas in Q1 earnings per share sat at $1.19. This quarter, ScanSource experienced a decrease in earnings per share, which was $0.96 in Q3 and is now $0.76. Most recently, Tingo Group reported earnings per share at $0.18, whereas in Q1 earnings per share sat at $0.33. 
The Significance: A value stock may need some time to rebound from its undervalued position. The risk of investing in a value stock is that this emergence may never materialize.

The pervasive adoption of generative AI, advancements in cloud computing, and diverse technological innovations are driving substantial growth in the tech industry. Thus, it could be wise to load up on robust tech stocks Bel Fuse (BELFB), Outbrain (OB), and Key Tronic (KTCC) for solid returns. Read more… Technology exerts a pervasive influence, shaping both personal web interactions and business engagements through third-party providers and applications. Its omnipresence in our daily routines has underscored a trajectory of unceasing growth, promising an expansive future on the technological horizon.
Considering this outlook, it could be wise to scoop up shares of fundamentally sound tech stocks Bel Fuse Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BELFB/">BELFB</a>), Outbrain Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OB/">OB</a>) and Key Tronic Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KTCC/">KTCC</a>), as they could position themselves for rapid success in the dynamic market landscape. Let us understand this in detail.
The year's pivotal breakthrough has been the widespread adoption of generative AI, transforming sectors through improved collaboration and personalized digital experiences. Although generative AI hasn't yet significantly impacted IT spending, broader AI investments are fueling overall growth in IT expenditures.
Gartner (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IT/">IT</a>) anticipates that by 2026, generative AI will extensively transform <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/gartner-top-10-strategic-technology-trends-for-2024">70% of the design and development processes</a> for new web and mobile applications. Simultaneously, its latest forecast predicts <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-10-18-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-it-spending-to-grow-8-percent-in-2024">an 8% growth</a> in worldwide IT spending, reaching $5.1 trillion in 2024 compared to the previous year.
Furthermore, organizations implementing generative AI services are turning to the public cloud due to the extensive infrastructure needs. In tandem, global end-user spending on public cloud services is expected to surge by 20.4%, reaching <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/11-13-2023-gartner-forecasts-worldwide-public-cloud-end-user-spending-to-reach-679-billion-in-20240">$678.8 billion in 2024</a>, a notable increase from $563.6 billion in 2023.
Moreover, the surging wave of <a href="https://connect.comptia.org/blog/emerging-trends-in-information-technology">technological innovations</a> such as the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G networks, blockchain, spatial computing, homomorphic encryption, metaverse, 3D printing, additive manufacturing, and robotics and automation stands ready to propel industry expansion, significantly broadening its horizons.
The information technology market is expected to grow at <a href="https://www.reportlinker.com/p06246411/Information-Technology-Global-Market-Report.html">a CAGR of 7.9%</a> to reach $12 trillion in 2027, as projected by Report Linker.
In light of these encouraging trends, let us dive into the fundamentals of these three tech stocks.
Bel Fuse Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BELFB/">BELFB</a>)
BELFB designs, manufactures, markets, and sells cutting-edge products for networking, telecommunications, computing, industrial, data transmission, military, aerospace, transportation, and e-mobility sectors. Its segments include Connectivity Solutions; Power Solutions and Protection; and Magnetic Solutions.
On November 15, BELFB's company, Cinch Connectivity Solutions, a global leader in providing reliable connectivity solutions, unveiled the expansion of its pioneering Johnson Female to Female Bullet Adapters that facilitate connections between SMP to SMPM standards, catering to high-speed, high-performance sectors.
These adapters, designed for diverse environments such as laboratory radio frequency testing, satellite communication equipment, GPS and phased array antennas, radar systems, and automated test equipment, could position BELFB to capitalize on emerging opportunities and reinforce its market presence.
On November 8, BELF expanded its portfolio with single-port, 10G, NBase-T, 60W, and 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) MagJack&#xAE; integrated connector modules (ICMs). These advanced modules cater to diverse applications such as industrial controllers, video cameras, and Wi-Fi access points.
By addressing the evolving needs of customers seeking increased speeds coupled with 60W or 100W power, BELF is strategically positioned to capture a larger market share. This move is also expected to enhance revenue streams, foster customer loyalty, and contribute significantly to the company's growth.
For the third quarter that ended September 30, 2023, BELFB's gross profit grew 7.6% year-over-year to $55.47 million. Its <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/adjusted-ebitda.asp">adjusted EBITDA</a> increased 9.5% from the year-ago value to $29.88 million.
In addition, the company's non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP class B EPS rose 16.1% and 13.5% from the previous year's quarter to $21.24 million and $1.68, respectively.
The consensus EPS estimate of $1.41 for the fiscal fourth quarter ending December 2023 reflects a 4.4% year-over-year improvement.

Key Tronic Corporation (KTCC) Q2 2024 Earnings Call Transcript

Increased investments in digitization and the adoption of newer technologies are boosting the technology industry's growth prospects. Therefore, investors could consider buying fundamentally strong tech stocks such as NetScout Systems (NTCT), Universal Electronics (UEIC), and Key Tronic (KTCC) as they are trading at a discount and are attracting the attention of smart money. Read on... The long-term outlook for the technology sector looks bright as demand for advanced technologies grows, along with the rise in IT spending and the advances in artificial intelligence and cloud computing. Moreover, the expected interest rate cuts later this year will benefit the tech sector.
Against this backdrop, investors could follow the footsteps of smart money by buying fundamentally strong value tech stocks such as NetScout Systems, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/NTCT/">NTCT</a>), Universal Electronics Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/UEIC/">UEIC</a>), and Key Tronic Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/KTCC/">KTCC</a>). Before delving deeper into their fundamentals, let's discuss what's shaping the tech industry's prospects.
Smart money refers to institutional investors and hedge funds. Due to their access to insightful research, information, and expertise, retail investors often track smart money. Investors should closely monitor smart money's interest in the above-mentioned stocks as they usually focus on companies with solid growth potential.
The NASDAQ Composite's 32.1% rise over the past year reflects investor confidence and optimism about the future of technology companies. According to Gartner, Inc.'s most recent report, worldwide IT spending will reach <a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2024-04-16-gartner-forecast-worldwide-it-spending-to-grow-8-percent-in-2024">$5.06 trillion</a> in 2024, up 8% from 2023.
John-David Lovelock, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner, said: "With spending on IT services on track to grow by 9.7% to eclipse $1.52 trillion, this category is on pace to become the largest market that Gartner tracks."
The demand for tech services is fueled by digital transformation, cloud adoption, business intelligence, increased demand for data security and privacy protection, and companies' emphasis on cost-effectiveness. The global IT services industry is expected to grow at a <a href="https://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/it-services/worldwide">CAGR of 5.8%</a> to $1.88 trillion until 2029.
Moreover, the use of advanced electronic components such as sensors and switches in devices is growing owing to greater interconnectivity between devices and the rise of smart and interactive devices. The global electronics industry is predicted to increase at a <a href="https://www.precedenceresearch.com/electronic-components-market">6.8% CAGR</a>, reaching $368.40 billion by 2032.
