B&G Foods (BGS) Queued Up for Q3 Earnings: Key Aspects to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS - Free Report) is likely to register both top- and the bottom-line decline when it reports third-quarter 2021 numbers on Nov 4, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $494.7 million, suggesting a decrease of 0.2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is currently pegged at 56 cents per share, indicating a slump of 24.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark has moved six cents south over the past 30 days. In the last reported quarter, B&G Foods posted a negative earnings surprise of 12.7%.
Factors Likely to Impact Q3 Results
B&G Foods has been battling cost inflation for a while now. On its last earnings call, management had highlighted that the company expects to keep seeing significant inflationary trends in ingredients, packaging and transportation.
It has also been grappling with pandemic-induced rise in costs at its production facilities for a while. These costs mainly include temporarily enhanced compensation for the manufacturing employees, remuneration paid to employees while in quarantine as well as expenses associated with other precautionary health and safety measures. Continuation of such expenses is likely to have been a drag on the company’s performance during the third quarter.
The company is focused on undertaking cost-cutting measures coupled with revenue-driving actions across its brands. B&G Foods is also benefiting from higher online sales, especially amid the pandemic. Such upsides are likely to have provided some cushion to the company’s performance during the quarter in review.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for B&G Foods this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
