Key Factors
DXC’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strength in the digital business and partnerships that are helping it expand in the cloud computing space. Also, increasing IT spending is anticipated to have aided the top-line performance during the quarter under review.
DXC’s top line will, however, likely reflect the negative impact of price concessions, previous business terminations, and runoffs during the fiscal second quarter. Apart from this, a weak traditional business might have dampened the top line during the quarter under review. However, sequential revenue stabilization is expected to have continued.
Margins are anticipated to have witnessed expansion during the period in discussion, mainly driven by the company’s cost-saving initiatives and lower interest expenses.
Also, a book-to-bill higher than 1.0 is likely to have been a positive during the fiscal second quarter.
The company’s focus on reducing debt via divestments is estimated to have resulted in a sequentially stronger balance sheet.
