TEL reported orders exceeding $4 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily driven by momentum in AI programs. This momentum is expected to have reinforced its outlook for top-line improvement in the second quarter, along with continued expansion in the Industrial Solutions segment.TE Connectivity is likely to have benefited from strong growth in its Digital Data Networks business, which achieved 48% year-over-year growth in the first quarter, driven by increasing momentum in AI applications across a diverse customer base. This positive trend is expected to have sustained into the to-be-reported quarter.However, TE Connectivity’s second-quarter performance is likely to have faced pressure from foreign exchange headwinds, with it projecting a year-over-year sales impact of $110 million due to unfavorable currency movements.What Our Model SaysAccording to the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
