MAT CROX MHK WW

Mohawk Industries, Inc. (MHK - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 13, after market close.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings and net sales topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.2% and 0.8%, respectively. However, on a year-over-year basis, both the metrics declined 16.4% and 1.1%, respectively, due to softness in retail demand, strong dollar and excess inventories. These headwinds might hurt its fourth-quarter 2019 results as well.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Mohawk’s fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.20 per share, indicating a 13% decline from the prior-year reported figure of $2.53. The consensus estimate for net sales is pegged at $2.41 billion, suggesting a 1.7% decrease from the year-ago reported figure.

Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
