BJ's Wholesale Club (BJ) to Post Q3 Earnings: What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (BJ - Free Report) is likely to register a decline in the bottom line when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Nov 18, before the market opens. Although the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share for the quarter has increased 3.8% to 81 cents over the past seven days, the figure still suggests a decline from 92 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
This operator of membership warehouse clubs has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 25.6%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Westborough-based company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a significant margin of 26.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3,923 million, indicating an improvement of 5.1% from the prior-year reported figure.
Factors to Note
BJ's Wholesale’s focus on simplifying assortments, boosting marketing and merchandising capabilities, expanding into high-demand categories and building own-brands portfolio is commendable. The company remains committed toward enhancing omni-channel capabilities and providing value to customers. These endeavors have been contributing to growth in membership signups and renewals.
The company has been also directing resources toward expanding digital capabilities in order to better engage with members and provide them a convenient way to shop, including same-day delivery, curbside pick-up and buy-online, pickup-in-club. Management believes that digitally engaged members have higher average baskets and make more trips per year than members who shop in-club only.
Clearly, BJ's Wholesale’s better pricing, private label offerings, merchandise initiatives and digital solutions are likely to have favorably impacted the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Well, margins still remain an area to watch. Inflation as well as freight costs, along with meaningful investments in labor and incremental COVID related safety and sanitation expenses might have weighed on margins. Supply chain and sourcing challenges are likely to have impacted quarterly performance.
