Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Factors at Play
National Vision is expected to report sequentially better results for the second quarter on gradual reopening of stores and return toward more normal operations. The company had projected a strong second quarter of 2021 courtesy of favorable year-over-year comparisons following a dull show in the year-ago period.
National Vision’s business has been gradually rebounding, attributable to pent-up demand from its patients and customers. Further, the company is likely to have benefited in Q2 from high demand for its low-cost eye care and eyewear offerings amid the difficult economic phase.
In particular, we are optimistic about the continued momentum in Eyeglass World. Per the company, currently Eyeglass World has really found its momentum, showing consistently strong uptick on a monthly basis. This is likely to have strongly contributed to Q2 performance.
