Crown Holdings (CCK) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2020 results, after the closing bell on Jul 20.
The company reported better-than-expected results in first-quarter 2020. Both revenues and earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate and improved year over year.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter total sales is pegged at $2.80 billion, indicating a decline of 7.7% from the year-ago quarter. The estimate for earnings is currently stands at $1.31, suggesting a decline of 10.3% from the prior-year reported figure. The estimate has gone down 1% over the past 30 days.
The company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate twice in the trailing four quarters, while missing the remaining two. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.08%, on average.
Crown Holdings’ products are significant part of food and beverage supply chains. In addition to manufacturing containers that provide protection for food and beverages, the company also produces closures for baby food, aerosol containers for cleaning and sanitizing products and numerous products that provide for the safe and secure transportation of goods in transit. This, in turn, is likely to get reflected in the company’s second-quarter results despite the coronavirus pandemic.
With its many inherent benefits, including being infinitely recyclable, the beverage can is currently the preferred package for marketers and consumers. The company might have benefited from the ongoing strength in global beverage-can demand in the quarter to be reported, particularly in North America. However, the coronavirus pandemic impacted demand in certain areas such as Brazil, Mexico, Southeast Asia and Europe, which is likely to weigh on the results. Further, the pandemic may have impacted the company’s operations and supply chain on account of restrictions imposed by governments. Nevertheless, the company’s ongoing cost-control measures might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Q2 Segment Expectations
In North America, the company continued to witness strong beverage demand as consumers have been increasingly preferring cans over other packaging. The second quarter was not an exception to this trend.

The segment is expected to report an operating profit of $121 million, down from $139 million witnessed in the year-earlier quarter.
The European Beverage segment’s second-quarter results are likely to be impacted as the Seville plant was down as the company completed the conversion from steel to aluminum. Also, the slowdown in beverage can demand in Italy, Turkey and the U.K due to the adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak might reflect on the segment’s results.
