Read MoreHide Full Article

The estimated figure indicates 38.1% growth from the year-ago earnings of 97 cents per share. The consensus mark for revenues is $263.2 million, suggesting 21% year-over-year growth.
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The company’s earnings in the third quarter are expected to have witnessed a strong improvement on a year-over-year basis, courtesy of solid pricing disciplines and cost-control measures. The strong desire for homeownership among buyers and Haverty’s solid positioning in Florida, Texas, and the Southeast are likely to have boosted top-line performance. The company’s efforts toward market share gains in the existing distribution footprint and maintaining a double-digit operating margin must have added to the positives.
Yet, shipping challenges experienced by housing-related industries have been causing major furniture delays. Also, higher freight and product costs have been putting pressure on margins.
