SunPower earned $0.06 a share in the first quarter on revenues of $635 million. For the second quarter ending in June, the company now forecasts adjusted EPS between $0.05 and $0.15 on revenues of $550 million to $600 million. The consensus estimates had called for a net loss of $0.02 per share on revenues of $513.31 million.
For the full-year, SunPower now estimates adjusted EPS in the range of $0.60 to $0.80 on revenues of $2.5 to $2.6 billion. These estimates are pretty much inline with the current consensus for EPS of $0.64 on revenues of $2.55 billion.
The company said it would provide detail on its guidance in a conference call later this morning. But the construction of its Antelope Valley Ranch project and its success at lease financing are likely to be the reasons for the company’s optimism for the current year.
