Jack in the Box (JACK) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Jack in the Box (JACK - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on May 12, after market close. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered earnings surprise of 23.4%.
How are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.24 per share, indicating growth of 148% from 50 cents recorded in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $249.2 million that suggests a 15.3% increase from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
Jack in the Box’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have reflected a rise in same-store sales on the back of new menu arrivals, re-introduction of products and strength in digital platform. Increased use of its mobile app for order placements coupled with initiatives regarding integration of POS systems with third-party vendors, are likely to have contributed to fiscal second-quarter top line.
Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for company restaurant sales and franchise rental revenues is pegged at $85 million and $76 million suggesting year-over-year growth of 14.9% and 8.6%, respectively. The consensus mark for franchise royalties and other revenues is pinned at $42.7 million, which indicates growth of 13% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
Moreover, increased focus on unit expansion, off-premise business, drive-thru enhancements as well as more aggressive brand marketing is likely to have driven performance in the fiscal second quarter.
However, rise in delivery and service fees and marketing expenses are likely to have hurt margins in the fiscal second quarter. This along with dismal footfall on account of the pandemic is likely to have affected the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
