Cambium Networks offers wireless broadband networking infrastructure services to government agencies, enterprises and medium-sized wireless Internet service providers.

The company expects to report GAAP revenues of around $75 million in the third quarter, lower than the previous guidance range of $88 million to $92 million announced in August and the Street’s estimate of $90.43 million.

Cambium Networks said, “The change in outlook primarily reflects greater than anticipated global supply constraints impacting shipments of products which we expect to continue into the first half of calendar 2022.”

Moreover, it expects GAAP and adjusted net income to come below the lower end of the earlier announced guidance range. Cash is expected to total nearly $58 million. (See Insiders’ Hot Stocks on TipRanks)
