Sierra Wireless Misses Estimates - Analyst Blog

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:41:00 GMT

Sierra Wireless Inc. (SWIR), a leading developer of OEM wireless modem cards and access solutions, declared third quarter 2008 financial results below our estimates. The company continues to be challenged with intensifying competition in the PC OEM market, coupled with unfavorable economic conditions. We remain concerned that a severe global economic downturn may reduce demand for wireless data cards and USB modems moving forward. Furthermore, Sierra failed to launch one of its innovative products with a key wireless operator during the reported quarter. This is in addition to management's lukewarm outlook for the fourth quarter. On the other hand, the company has a strong balance sheet and its current valuation, at its historical low earnings multiples, is trading near its net cash position.[More...]

Sierra Wireless Inc. (SWIR), a leading developer of OEM [original equipment manufacturer] wireless modem cards and access solutions, is being challenged with intensifying competition in the PC OEM market, coupled with unfavorable economic conditions. The company provided disappointing third-quarter financial guidance. We believe these concerns may restrict Sierra's near-term growth prospects. This is in lieu of the company's recent second quarter fiscal 2008 financial results that were above our expectations due to precipitous demand and requirements for wireless data cards, USB modems, and PC embedded modules. Long-run fundamentals for high-speed mobile broadband services remain firm. However, Sierra must receive new design wins or some cost-effective product transition with major customers in order to streamline its PC OEM business. We downgrade the stock to a Hold[More...]
