What's in Store for Academy Sports and Outdoors (ASO) Q1 Earnings?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Academy Sports and Outdoors, Inc. (ASO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 8. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 75.8%.

Factors to Note

The company’s first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust consumer demand across all markets and merchandise divisions, primarily Sports & Recreation. Robust e-commerce sales are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. In fourth-quarter 2020, e-commerce sales rose 60.7% driven by growth in website visit. Moreover, increase in demand for indoor and outdoor games, bikes, fitness equipment and outdoor cooking bode well. However, soft performance of the company’s businesses including licensed apparel, team sports equipment, apparel and footwear and back-to-school might have dented performance.
