July 30 (Reuters) – Touchscreen technology maker Synaptics Inc (SYNA.O) posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit, but the company forecast first-quarter revenue below Wall Street expectations, sending shares down 17 percent.
The company also named Chief Operating Officer Thomas Tiernan as its new chief executive officer, replacing Francis Lee, who is retiring.
For the first quarter, Synaptics expects revenue of $113 million to $119 million, trailing analysts’ consensus view of $127.4 million.
“We expect solid growth from mobile phone applications, while PC based revenue will decline, primarily reflecting the expected decrease in revenue from multi-media control applications, as well as a generally lower priced touchpad product mix,” the company said in a statement.
Fourth-quarter net income increased to $13.1 million, or 36 cents per share, from $2.6 million, or 7 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding items, the company earned 47 cents a share. Revenue rose 19 percent to $115.3 million.
Analysts expected earnings of 44 cents a share, excluding exceptional items, on revenue of $112.1 million, according to Reuters Estimates.
Exiting the June quarter, the company had a backlog of $62.8 million.
Shares of the company were trading down $6.85 at $29 after the bell. They closed at $35.85 Thursday on Nasdaq. (Reporting by Shrutika Verma in Bangalore; Editing by Deepak Kannan)
And judging by the chart, I’d only buy at the very bottom of the range (and odds are if it does drop that much, it won’t come back since patterns evolve and Synaptics sucks)
