Weyerhaeuser (WY) to Report Q2 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Weyerhaeuser Company (WY - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2018 results on Jul 27, before the market opens.
The wood-based building products manufacturer delivered better-than-expected results in three of the last four quarters, the average positive earnings surprise being 2.76%. Notably, in the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings of 36 cents per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 33 cents.
Let us see how things are shaping up for Weyerhaeuser prior to the upcoming announcement.
Factors Influencing Q2 Results
Strength in U.S. housing market is expected to boost Weyerhaeuser's results in the to-be-reported quarter. This, along with higher demand for repair and remodeling activities, is expected to drive the company’s Wood Products and Timberlands segments in the upcoming quarterly results.
For the second quarter, earnings in the Wood Products segment are projected to grow sequentially and the same for the Timberlands segment is expected improve on a year-over-year basis.
For the Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment, the company anticipates sequentially comparable earnings and adjusted EBITDA. Weyerhaeuser projects sequentially lower earnings and adjusted EBITDA from the Timberlands segment.
Sales volume and operating rates are predicted to be seasonally higher in the upcoming quarterly results. Sales realizations will rise for lumber, engineered wood products and oriented strand board.
However, the company predicts that higher road and forestry costs as well as rise in log costs will affect Timberland segment's business in the West. Log and haul costs will increase due to the planned shift of harvest activity to higher elevations in the spring months. In the South, log sales realizations are predicted to be flat on a quarter-over-quarter basis.
Overall, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2018 revenues is pegged at $1.99 billion, reflecting an increase of 10.3% year over year. Meanwhile, the consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at 41 cents, implying growth of 46.4% on a year-over-year basis.
