Here's How Burlington Stores (BURL) is Poised Before Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
We expect Burlington Stores, Inc. (BURL - Free Report) to register year-over-year growth in its top and bottom-line performances when it releases third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Nov 23, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly earnings currently stands at $1.27, which shows a significant improvement from 29 cents per share earned in the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark has been stable in the past 30 days.
A glance at its performance in the trailing four quarters shows that it delivered an earnings surprise of 69.2%, on average.
The consensus estimate for quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $2,281 million, indicating an improvement of about 37% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
Key Factors to Note
Burlington Stores’ quarterly performance is likely to have benefited from the solid execution of its 2.0 strategy, which aims at improving its off-price model. This initiative mainly focuses on three aspects, such as marketing, merchandising and store prototype to drive overall growth. BURL continues to make investments in boosting assortments and merchandising capabilities.
This off-price retailer has been strengthening vendor counts, making technological advancements and focusing on localized assortments for a while now. Gains from strategic efforts coupled with strength across its key merchandise categories are aiding its comp store sales, steadily. On the last earnings call, management had projected the baseline comp sales to increase 10% for the second half of the current fiscal year. All the aforesaid tailwinds are expected to have boosted Burlington Stores’ performance in the quarter under review.
On the flip side, higher freight costs and supply-chain challenges might have been deterrents. Also, BURL continues to witness adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses on increased product-sourcing costs.
