Freshpet (FRPT) to Post Q3 Earnings: What Awaits the Stock?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Freshpet, Inc. (FRPT - Free Report) — a renowned pet food products company — is likely to register top-line growth when it reports third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 8, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $115.7 million, which indicates growth of 37.4% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third-quarter bottom line is currently pegged at 9 cents per share, which suggests no changes from the year-ago quarter’s earnings. The consensus mark has remained stable in the past 30 days. The company incurred a loss in the past three quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 399.4%, on average.
Key Aspects to Note
Freshpet’s top line during the third quarter is likely to have gained from the company’s strong product offerings. To boost portfolio strength, the company has been engaged in well-chalked innovations. It has been striving to expand fresh and natural ingredients-based pet food products. The company is also likely to have gained from improved distribution and retail availability, backed by enhanced production levels.
Freshpet’s pet specialty channel is likely to have performed well during the quarter in review, driven by expanded consumption. It is also likely to have gained from expanded Freshpet fridges across stores. The company’s sturdy e-commerce platform and efforts to boost international business are likely to have been an upside.
However, the company’s performance in the third quarter is likely to have been adversely impacted by industry-wide inflationary trends, especially in labor and logistics costs. Higher beef costs and production expenses are also expected to have been a drag.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Freshpet 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. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
