Hormel Foods (HRL) Queued for Q3 Earnings: Things to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL - Free Report) is likely to register top-and the bottom-line growth when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2021 numbers on Sep 2. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2,691 million, which suggests an increase of almost 13% from the figure reported in the prior-year quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings, which has remained unchanged at 38 cents per share in the past 30 days, projects 2.7% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The producer and marketer of several meat and other food products has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.1%, on average.
Hormel Foods is benefiting from robust demand in its retail and deli channel. The company’s International & Other segment has also been performing well for a while. Apart from this, it is witnessing recovery in the foodservice business. Management, in its last earnings call, highlighted that it is optimistic about the foodservice business for the second half of the year. It expects to keep witnessing high demand in the retail, deli and international channels. We believe that such upsides are likely to have driven Hormel Foods’ performance in third-quarter fiscal 2021.
Apart from this, the company’s focus on innovation has been yielding. Moreover, Hormel Foods’ effort to boost capacity is noteworthy. Management has been consistently investing in the e-commerce channel, which bodes well.
However, Hormel Foods is seeing escalated costs associated with COVID-19. Management, in its second-quarter earnings call, highlighted that it has witnessed rapid escalations in key input costs across business this year. Management stated that it expects higher costs to persist for the rest of the year. Impacts of the same might get reflected in the company’s performance in to-be-reported quarter.
