TD SYNNEX's (SNX) Q1 "solid billings growth" of 7.5% surpassed market expectations, despite weaker demand in its Hyve segment, which is why "we believe secular tailwinds remain in place over the mid-term and would remain buyers on weakness," RBC Capital Markets said in a note to clients Friday.
TD SYNNEX achieved an operating profit of $399 million and a higher-than-expected gross margin of 6.87% as a percent of sales, indicating good cost control, RBC said.
Tariffs had minimal impact on TD SYNNEX, due to its US manufacturing base and flexible supply chain, giving Hyve a market advantage, RBC added.
RBC maintained an outperform rating for TD SYNNEX with a price target of $165.
