Analyst Samik Chatterjee also expects to see upside to company EPS as the company uses its balance sheet to buy back stock, “despite worries about lower revenues from Sony entering the 3D Sensing market.” He added, “To that end, we are risk-adjusting our revenue estimates further for potential share and revenue loss to Sony in 3D Sensing, but our earnings estimate for [fiscal 2025] rises on account of a higher likelihood of the company utilizing the flexibility on its balance sheet and the remaining $500 [million] of the buyback authorization to repurchase ~15% of the current market capitalization within a 2-year period.”
