While we have seen some turmoil in the tech sector due to the various Facebook crises and other issues, not all is bad. One of our top upgrades for today is Plantronics (PLT). Our models like the stock due to a good Sharpe Ratio and company size.<\/p>\n

The company last reported earnings at the end of January for Q3 2018. At that time, total net revenues for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2018 were $226.5 million, down 2.7%, or $6.4 million compared to the third quarter last year.\u00a0 Enterprise net revenues of $167.6 million were up 6.5%, or $10.3 million, driven by growth in UC revenues which were partially offset by a slight decline in non-UC headset revenues. Consumer net revenues were $58.9 million, down 22.1%, or $16.7 million, primarily driven by lower stereo Bluetooth revenues and the divestiture of the firm’s Clarity business.<\/p>\n

Joe Burton, President and Chief Executive Officer noted that that time that the company was “transforming the business by complementing our hardware leadership with software and analytics. These software-driven solutions provide valuable insights, making our solutions more critical to our customers than ever before.”<\/p>\n

ValuEngine updated its recommendation from HOLD to BUY for Plantronics on 2018-03-29. Based on the information we have gathered and our resulting research, we feel that Plantronics has the probability to OUTPERFORM average market performance for the next year. The company exhibits ATTRACTIVE Company Size and Sharpe Ratio.<\/p>\n
