$CGNX Cognex sees Q4 revenue $210M-$230M, consensus $221.89M "Cognex expects revenue to be between $210 million and $230 million. This range represents a sequential decrease in revenue from Q3-24 to Q4-24 driven by Consumer Electronics seasonality and one fewer month of Moritex financials. Year-on-year, at the midpoint, this represents a low-double-digit increase on a reported basis, or a high-single-digit increase, excluding Moritex, driven by continued growth in Logistics and Semi. We expect the Moritex business to contribute 6 to 8 percent of revenue in Q4-24. Adjusted gross margin is expected to be in the high 60 percent range. Mix as well as competitive pricing are expected to be sequential headwinds, partially offset by the favorable impact of one fewer month of Moritex financials. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be between 14% and 17%. This represents a 3 percentage point increase year-on-year at the midpoint driven by expected continued tight management of operating expenses and positive operating leverage slightly offset by lower gross margin and investment in the Emerging Customer initiative. The adjusted effective tax rate is expected to be 16%."

$CGNX Heads up alert! Upcoming Earnings on 10/31/2024 Neutral (5.5) Cognex Corporation (CGNX) is currently navigating a complex landscape marked by mixed sentiment from recent performance updates and future growth prospects. The company has seen its stock price pressured by a disappointing second-quarter report, which raised concerns about its near-term performance. Key financial metrics indicate that CGNX has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio that is higher than the industry average, reflecting a market expectation of future growth despite recent setbacks. Analysts project a modest earnings per share (EPS) growth rate, which has been revised downward amid broader market challenges, including a recent Federal Reserve interest rate cut aimed at stimulating economic activity. Revenue forecasts suggest a cautious outlook, with estimates indicating potential stagnation due to competitive pressures within the automation and AI sectors. Comparatively, CGNX's performance has lagged behind peers in the tech and automation industries, which have benefited from increased investments and favorable market conditions. Looking ahead, Cognex is set to release its third-quarter earnings on October 30, 2024. Analysts are closely watching this report for signs of recovery or further declines. Historical performance indicates that the company has struggled to deliver consistent growth, and there is a consensus among analysts that the upcoming results will be pivotal. The expectation is for a slight rebound in revenues as the company capitalizes on growth opportunities in AI and semiconductor technologies, which were highlighted by the CEO in the recent earnings call. Analyst consensus estimates suggest cautious optimism, with the potential for earnings to meet or slightly exceed expectations, depending on market conditions and demand for automation solutions. Given the mixed signals from both past performance and future prospects, investors are advised to stay informed and consider the implications of the upcoming earnings report on Cognex's valuation and growth trajectory. - Funds were net buyers of $CGNX during the previous reporting quarter. - Top 5 funds with large holdings in $CGNX: * Brown Capital Management $167MM.
