Crown Holdings (CCK) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Crown Holdings, Inc. (CCK - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Oct 19, after the closing bell.
The company reported declines in both earnings and revenues in second-quarter 2020 owing to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the pass through of lower material costs and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. While earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate, revenues lagged the same.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter total sales is pegged at $3.06 billion, indicating a decline of 0.7% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for earnings currently stands at $1.60, suggesting growth of 2.6% from the prior-year reported figure. The estimate has been revised downward by 1% over the past 30 days.
The company has surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate thrice in the trailing four quarters, while missing once. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.97%, on average.
Factors to Note
Crown Holdings’ products are significant part of food and beverage supply chains. In addition to manufacturing containers that provide protection for food and beverages, the company also produces closures for baby food, aerosol containers for cleaning and sanitizing products and numerous products that provide for the safe and secure transportation of goods in transit. This might have benefited the company’s third-quarter performance despite the coronavirus pandemic.
With its many inherent benefits, including being infinitely recyclable, the beverage can is currently the preferred package for marketers and consumers. Consequently, the company has been witnessing strong beverage can demand across its markets. This, in turn, is likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. However, these gains are likely have been negated somewhat by the impact of the weakness in its industrial end- markets. Nevertheless, its ongoing cost-control measures are likely to have contributed to the third-quarter performance.
Q3 Segment Expectations
