Factors Likely to Influence Wolverine's (WWW) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (WWW - Free Report) is likely to witness top- and bottom-line growth when it reports first-quarter 2021 results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pinned at $508 million, which indicates growth of more than 15% from the year-ago quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s first-quarter earnings is pegged at 38 cents, which suggests an increase of more than 35% from 28 cents earned in the year-ago quarter. In the last reported quarter, the Rockford, MI-based company delivered an earnings surprise of 23.5%, on average.
Key Factors
Wolverine’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefitted from growth in its e-commerce business. Markedly, the company’s global D2C e-commerce business has been pretty strong. In order to support growth in the digital arena, the company is investing toward strengthening of distribution centers. Additionally, it focuses on boosting social presence, digital content and flow of information as well as better management of consumer database.
Moreover, Wolverine is likely to have gained from strong brand growth, including Saucony and Merrell. Brands, especially in performance, athletic, outdoor and work categories, have been performing well. Further, the company‘s efforts to develop an efficient sourcing structure and diversify global business are likely to have remained as upsides during the first quarter.
However, adverse impacts stemming from the pandemic upon the company’s business operations cannot be ruled out. Moreover, rising expenses are likely to have been a headwind in the to-be-reported quarter. We note that the company is witnessing higher selling, general & administrative expenses, including higher digital marketing costs.
