IN THE SPOTLIGHT: IHS MARKIT, MICRON TECHNOLOGY

IHS MARKIT: The leading provider of data and analytics to corporate is expected to report its fiscal third-quarter earnings of $0.83 per share, which represents a year-over-year decline of about 8% from $0.77 per share seen in the same period a year ago.

The company is expected to post revenue growth of over 9% to $1.17 billion. According to ZACKS Research, in all of the company’s last four quarters, earnings surpassed the consensus estimate. Earnings surprise has averaged 5.4% over its trailing four quarters.

“IHS Markit is a leading supplier of information services across multiple verticals with an attractive business model. We believe the synergy potential with SPGI will lead to cost savings and access to underpenetrated revenue markets,” noted Toni Kaplan, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

“Recovery in auto sales from COVID-19 is occurring faster than previously anticipated. We expect the energy market to become more accommodative in ’21 and ’22 following the crude oil price rebound.”

MICRON TECHNOLOGY: The world’s leading semiconductor manufacturer is expected to report its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $2.33 per share, representing year-over-year growth of more than 115% from $1.08 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.
