Sigma Post-Earnings Update: Staying Long, Though Concerns Remain [View article]
Media processor company Sigma Designs (SIGM - $18.50) reported fiscal Q1 earnings on Thursday evening that came in below expectations on account of bloated inventory of IPTV set top boxes at one of its major customers. Management also admitted to slower than expected growth in Blu-ray DVD technology sales that will continue through the second half of this year as manufacturers were caught off-guard by the quick demise of the next-gen DVD format war (with HD-DVD) and - as is typical in DVD markets - vendors have begun aggressive pricing moves and expertise builds. The company expects to lose some market share as a result. Management also pulled guidance for the full year, which originally had been for revenue between $300 million and $350 million.
Revenue of $56.9 million actually was below the vastly reduced outlook for $60 million given at the end of fiscal Q4. Earnings were an adjusted $0.40 per share, down by half from the prior-year level. Reuters Estimates was showing a consensus average earnings target of $0.42 per share on $60.2 million in revenue.
Unfortunate, the miss is, but we remain relatively optimistic about the company's future, though we remain cognizant of the potentially significant compression in profits due to increased competition. Even so, the current single-digit multiples on forward earnings are a fair metric upon which to make an 'undervalued' assessment. Did cut our LG target price at $38
