Sanderson Farms (SAFM) Queued for Q3 Earnings: Things to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Sanderson Farms, Inc. is likely to register improvement in the top and the bottom lines when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2021 numbers on Aug 26. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $1,304 million, which suggests an increase of 36.3% from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has move up to $6.73 per share from $6.61 per share in the past 30 days. The projection shows significant growth from earnings of $1.48 per share reported in the year-ago quarter. The poultry processing company’s bottom line has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a significant margin in the trailing four quarters, on average. Sanderson Farms delivered an earnings surprise of 83.8% in the last-reported quarter.
Sanderson Farms has been gaining from favorable conditions in the poultry market as well as prudent growth efforts. Improved poultry markets, on the back of favorable customer demand in the foodservice channel as things have been opening up and restaurant traffic is picking up, are an upside. Lately, the company has been witnessing increased export demand. We believe that continuation of the trend is likely to have aided fiscal third-quarter performance. Apart from these, Sanderson Farms is benefiting from its efforts to strengthen its product portfolio and enhance capacity.
However, in its last earnings call, management highlighted that it expects total production during the to-be-reported quarter to be down 0.6% when compared with fiscal 2020’s levels. This can be attributed to reduced target live weight at its Hazlehurst, MS processing plant in a bid to focus better on demands from retail grocery store customers. Apart from this, Sanderson Farms highlighted that it expects supply in comparison to demand for both corn and soybeans crops to remain extremely tight during the back half of fiscal 2021. Elevated feed costs are likely to have put pressure on the company’s performance in the quarter under review.
