TE Connectivity beat Wall Street expectations for fourth-quarter profit on Wednesday as demand for its sensor technology was buoyed by steady sales of electric vehicles (EVs) across the globe.

Customers have been increasingly turning to EVs as governments around the world implement regulations to incentivize cleaner modes of transport.

The Switzerland-based connectivity and sensors solutions manufacturer reported an adjusted profit of USD 1.78 per share for the quarter ended Sept. 29, compared with analysts’ average estimate of USD 1.76, according to LSEG data.

It, however, forecast 2024 first-quarter net sales of about USD 3.85 billion compared with analysts’ expectations of USD 3.94 billion, owing to a decline in its communications segment, which supplies electronic components for data centers and appliances.

In the fourth quarter, total net sales stood at USD 4.04 billion, down 7% from a year earlier, but beat analysts’ average expectations of USD 4.01 billion.

It cited a decline in its communications and industrial solutions segment among other reasons for the fall in revenue.
