Gildan Activewear (GIL) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL - Free Report) is likely to have registered top and bottom-line growth when it reports fourth-quarter 2023 results on Feb 21, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $749.4 million, indicating a rise of 4.1% from the year-ago reported figure.
The consensus estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 72 cents per share, suggesting a 10.8% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The consensus mark has been unchanged in the past 30 days.
Gildan Activewear has a negative trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 2.2%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 1.4%.
Key Factors to Note
Gildan Activewear has been gaining market share, driven by its strong brand, product innovation and customer service. It has been saving costs by optimizing its manufacturing processes. The company has a relatively short manufacturing cycle time and can adjust its manufacturing to incorporate demand changes. This can help the company avoid excess inventory and reduce the risk of stockouts, which can improve customer satisfaction and reduce costs. Optimizing its manufacturing processes and implementing cost-reduction initiatives are expected to have been reflected in the company’s profitability in the to-be-reported quarter.
On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management projected revenues to grow in the quarter under review.
On the flip side, Gildan Activewear has been witnessing headwinds, driven by a tough macro environment, which has been shifting customers’ focus on lower-priced products. The company has been witnessing softer demand trends for a while now owing to a challenging macro backdrop.
