Read MoreHide Full Article

Resideo Technologies, Inc. (REZI - Free Report) is set to release first-quarter 2021 results on May 6, after market close.

Notably, the company’s earnings beat estimates thrice in the last four quarters, the earnings surprise being 198.91%, on average. In the last reported quarter, Resideo’s earnings of 80 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 93 cents by 13.98%.

In the past three months, the company’s shares have gained 22.1% compared with the industry’s rise of 5.6%.

Factors at Play

Resideo is expected to have benefited from solid demand for its products and solutions across the residential end markets, supported by favorable trends in new construction activities. Also, recovery in demand environment in the commercial security markets is anticipated to have augmented its top-line performance in the first quarter. Further, growing popularity for its newly introduced products, such as the Pro series, might have supported its performance in the quarter.

Moreover, the company’s pricing, supply chain as well as channel initiatives are likely to have been beneficial in the to-be-reported quarter. In addition, several cost saving and restructuring actions undertaken by the company are anticipated to have helped it maintain a healthy margin performance.

Resideo’s investments in the e-commerce and digital selling tools aided it in driving e-commerce revenue sales significantly in fourth-quarter 2020. This trend is likely to have continued in the first quarter as well, given its focus on investing in digital sales tools to drive sales force effectiveness.

However, the lingering effects of the pandemic-related issues are likely to have adversely impacted the company’s performance. Also, Resideo’s investments related to product development and restructuring actions might have hurt its earnings in the first quarter.

Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues from the Products & Solutions segment is currently pegged at $595 million, indicating growth of 25.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. The consensus estimate for revenues from the ADI Global Distribution segment is pegged at $775 million, indicating an increase of 10.1% year over year.
