Red Robin (RRGB) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (RRGB - Free Report) is likely to register a decline in the bottom line when it reports it fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 results. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 86%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.29 per share. Meanwhile, the company reported a loss per share of 36 cents in the prior-year quarter. Notably, the company’s estimates remained stable over the past seven days. The consensus mark for revenues stands at nearly $205 million, suggesting a decline of 32.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
Red Robin’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are likely to reflect negative impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Although the company began fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 on an encouraging note, the momentum was offset by dining room closures and capacity limitations in key states of California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington due to rise in COVID-19 cases.
In January, the company reported preliminary fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 results. For the periods ended Nov 1, Nov 27 and Dec 27, comparable restaurant revenues fell 15.4%, 28.8% and 39.5%, respectively, on a year-over-year basis. Overall, comps declined 28.9% year over year during fiscal fourth quarter. However, robust off-premise sales might have driven the company’s performance. Red Robin’s off-premise sales have more than doubled from its pre-COVID-19 levels. In fiscal fourth quarter, off-premise sales surged 132% year over year. Notably, reduction in menu items and enhancement in online food ordering website have enhanced speed and accuracy of service.
It is worth mentioning that higher costs might have weighed on the company’s fiscal fourth-quarter margins. In third-quarter fiscal 2020, restaurant-level operating profit margin came in at 8.6% compared with growth of 16.1% in the year-ago period. Restaurant labor costs (as a percentage of restaurant revenue) rose 150 basis points (bps) year over year to 37.7% in the fiscal third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by sales deleverage and higher wage rates, partially offset by lower restaurant manager incentive compensation.

Red Robin, which shares space with Jack in the Box Inc. (JACK - Free Report) , has an Earnings ESP of -12.79% and a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), which makes the surprise prediction difficult.

Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. has an Earnings ESP of +18.52% and a Zacks Rank #3.
These Stocks Are Poised to Soar Past the Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak has shifted consumer behavior dramatically, and a handful of high-tech companies have stepped up to keep America running. Right now, investors in these companies have a shot at serious profits. For example, Zoom jumped 108.5% in less than 4 months while most other stocks were sinking.
Our research shows that 5 cutting-edge stocks could skyrocket from the exponential increase in demand for “stay at home” technologies. This could be one of the biggest buying opportunities of this decade, especially for those who get in early.
