Price and EPS Surprise TTM Technologies, Inc. price-eps-surprise | TTM Technologies, Inc. QuoteLet us see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.Factors to Note for TTMI’s Q4 ResultsDemand from data center computing and networking end markets is accelerating as generative AI adoption expands, driving higher volumes and a richer product mix. Data center computing revenues surged 44% year over year in the third quarter of 2025 to a record high, supported by strong hyperscaler orders for GenAI infrastructure, and are expected to rise to 28% of total fourth-quarter sales. Networking also recorded 35% year-over-year growth, supported by sustained AI-driven demand and new product introductions, with momentum set to continue. As these AI-focused markets represent an increasing portion of revenues, TTM Technologies is expected to have benefited in the fourth quarter of 2025.The aerospace and defense (A&D) segment continues to provide strong revenue stability and visibility, supported by a resilient program backlog of approximately $1.46 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Management highlighted that demand in this end market remains robust due to defense budget tailwinds and solid program alignment, with significant bookings recorded for key platforms such as the AMRAAM missile program, the APS-153 radar system for the MH-60R helicopter, and U.S. Army detection and reporting systems. These long-duration contracts enhance revenue visibility. With aerospace and defense expected to represent approximately 42% of total revenues, the segment’s continued strength is likely to have supported fourth-quarter results.TTM Technologies’ capacity expansion initiatives position the company to meet rising demand in AI-driven data center and aerospace and defense markets. The Penang, Malaysia facility continues to ramp, with customer qualifications progressing, third-quarter sales of $5 million, and further revenue growth expected in the fourth quarter as yields improve and new customers come online. Also, development of the Ultra-HDI PCB facility in Syracuse, NY, continues as planned, with equipment installation underway and volume production slated for the second half of 2026. These investments are likely to have contributed positively by strengthening support for advanced, next-generation PCB demand and sustaining near-term revenue growth.However, the automotive end market continues to act as a structural headwind, reflecting prolonged inventory corrections and subdued demand from major customers. Management indicated that automotive revenues declined to 11% of total sales in the third quarter of 2025 from 14% in the prior-year period, reflecting cautious customer purchasing behavior. Looking ahead, automotive is expected to contract further to around 9% of total sales in the fourth quarter, signaling continued weakness and limited prospects for near-term improvement. Consequently, this segment is expected to have exerted a negative influence on results in the quarter under review.What Our Model Says About TTMI StockOur proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for TTM Technologies this time around.
