On October 30, Fabrinet fell 7.22% in Regular Trading, trading at $333.32 per share, with turnover of $19.2336 million.
The move coincided with a more cautious tone ahead of the company’s November 2 earnings release after earlier bullish expectations had intensified. Market consensus calls for quarterly revenue of about $1.403 billion, up 50.23% year over year, and adjusted EPS of about $4.19, up 48.43%, both within the company’s prior guidance range of $1.375 billion to $1.425 billion in revenue and $4.10 to $4.25 in adjusted EPS.
Recent background has been fundamentally strong: in the prior quarter, Fabrinet reported revenue of $1.316 billion, up 44.64% year over year, gross margin of 12.01%, net income attributable to shareholders of $139 million, net margin of 10.58%, and adjusted EPS of $4.10, up 54.72%. Even so, the latest pullback suggests investors are becoming more cautious about the pace of earnings delivery after expectations had already moved higher.
