See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.
Teledyne delivered a four-quarter earnings surprise of 2.55%, on average. Improved sales expectations from the majority of its business segments are likely to have boosted TDY’s overall fourth-quarter top line. However, supply-chain issues might have impacted the bottom line.
TDY’s Digital Imaging Sales Likely to Fall
Strong defense-related sales at Teledyne FLIR and solid sales volume for its legacy space-based infrared imaging detectors are expected to have boosted the company’s Digital Imaging Sales unit’s revenue performance. However, poor sales performance from the industrial machine vision market might have hurt the overall top-line growth of this segment.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Digital Imaging segment’s fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $798 million. This indicates a decline of 0.6% from the top line reported in the year-ago quarter.
