Nu Skin (NUS) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. (NUS - Free Report) is likely to post an increase in the top and the bottom line when it reports first-quarter 2021 results on May 5. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has remained unchanged at 72 cents per share in the past 30 days. The estimate suggests a significant rise from 36 cents per share reported in the year-ago quarter.This cosmetic, personal care and wellness products provider has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 24.7%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company reported earnings surprise of 18.6%.
The consensus mark for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $633.3 million that indicates growth of 22.2% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Nu Skin is benefiting from efforts to strengthen sales leader and expand the customer base. Moreover, the company is making significant investments in the digital platform to boost online sales amid the coronavirus outbreak. Apart from this, Nu Skin’s focus on innovation is yielding. In its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects to expand customer reach via the launch of Boost and Nutricentials products in the first half of 2021. We believe that this is likely to have benefitted the company’s performance in the first quarter of 2021.
Incidentally, the company projects revenues of $610-$640 million including favorable currency impacts of nearly 3% in the to-be-reported quarter. The projection suggests an improvement of 18-24% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. First-quarter earnings are anticipated between 65 cents and 75 cents per share, indicating significant growth from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
However, Nu Skin is grappling with incremental freight for a while now. Additionally, a geographic mix shift owing to strong growth in the West region is putting pressure on the company’ gross margin. We believe that persistence of these trends is likely to have impacted performance in the quarter under review.
