What are Wall Street analysts saying about NetGear stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about NetGear stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "NETGEAR reported healthy results in third-quarter 2018, driven by the success of Orbi, cable modems and gateways, SMB switches and Arlo business. The company continues to capitalize on technology inflections, create new categories and build recurring service revenues in order to maintain its market leadership position and drive future growth. NETGEAR remains optimistic about the prospect of its Connected Home segment, on the back of strong traction across Orbi, and cable modems and gateways. However, the stock has underperformed the industry in the past three months on an average. NETGEAR’s decision to split into two independent companies involves a fair amount of uncertainty, which may lead to top-line fall going forward. The company’s business is highly seasonal leading to risk of volatility in cash flow and earnings. Cost advantage of NETGEAR's third-party manufacturers in China is likely to erode with higher tariffs." (11/14/2018)
- 2. Guggenheim analysts commented, "We estimate 2018 revenues +8%Y/ Y to $1.53B and +4%Y/Y to $1.07B ex-ARLO, driven by Orbi mesh and WiFi routers, a return to growth in SMB switching and stabilization in Service Provider; with profits rebounding after ARLO and its separate costs fully spin out. ARLO spin-out enables return to profit focus – On Aug 3, NTGR began to spin out ARLO through an IPO of 11.7mil shares at $16 per share, and continues to own 84.2% but with its stated intention being to distribute the remaining ARLO ownership interest to its stockholders sometime after a 145-day lock-up period, as soon as the transaction can be tax-free for US federal income tax purposes."
