We expect Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL - Free Report) to witness both the top and the bottom-line growth when it reports third-quarter 2021 earnings on Nov 4, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at 56 cents, which suggests a sharp rise from 30 cents earned in the year-earlier quarter. The consensus mark has increased a couple of cents in the past 30 days.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales currently stands at $712 million, indicating an 18% increase from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
A glance at the company’s performance in the last four quarters reflects that it delivered an earnings surprise of 133.2%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Gildan Activewear’s quarterly performance might have benefited from improving market trends and recovery from the pandemic-led disruptions. Solid execution of its strategies including elimination of redundancy and complexity from the business, enhancement of business operations and cost-saving measures are likely to have contributed to the company’s performance.
The company’s Back-to-Basics strategy bodes well. It mainly focuses on simplifying business and optimizing operations as well as streamlining administrative, marketing and merchandising activities. It has been gaining from strength in brands for a while. The company is also reinforcing its presence in the international markets. All the aforesaid factors are likely to have boosted Gildan Activewear’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
On the flip side, supply-chain bottlenecks remain an industry-wide concern. Also, the company continues to endure tightness in raw material inputs and transportation-related issues, inducing inflationary pressures.
