QLogic Earnings Call Due in Two Weeks

Networking equipment maker QLogic announced that it will be reporting its results for the first quarter of the 2013 fiscal year on June 26. Here’s the official statement that the company sent out today.

“Following the press release, QLogic will conduct a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time (5:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Simon Biddiscombe, president and chief executive officer, and Jean Hu, senior vice president and chief financial officer, will host the call.”

Last quarter QLogic reported a profit of $29.5 million on revenue of just over $166 million. Earnings didn’t disappoint and managed to beat Wall Street’s consensus forecast of 25 cents with a fair 4 cent lead, but sales declined. The firm reported 7.5 percent more revenue for the same period the year before.

Earlier this week QLogic was flagged by Seeking Alpha as a potentially very profitable long term investment, in light of the hardware market’s recent decline on the stock exchange and the company’s history of consistently beating analysts’ expectations, as well  as a few other considerations. Investors will be on the lookout for its Q1 results.

Also this week QLogic had a notable update coming from China. Inspur, one of its OEMs, awarded it with the status of “Supplier of the Year for Support” for being able to beat the manufacturer’s other partners in practically every category. Among these were partner profitability and communications, as well as other things you might expect pertaining to sales, marketing and technical assistance.

Over at the consumer end of the networking industry, Cisco faced some drama earlier this month after customers started complaining about the poorly implemented update it rolled out to a few of its newer home router models.
