Cognex reports Q1 adjusted EPS 34c, consensus 25c

Reports Q1 revenue $268M, consensus $246.05M. “Since the CEO transition was announced a year ago, we’ve moved with urgency to focus our strategy, strengthen execution, and position Cognex (CGNX) for sustainable, profitable growth,” said Matt Moschner, President and CEO. “This was evident in Q1, highlighted by the launch of two breakthrough AI vision systems, the completion of the trading business divestiture and continued execution toward our announced cost reduction target. We believe that this progress is clearly reflected in our Q1 results, with an exceptional start to the year and broad-based outperformance during the quarter.”
