The Zacks Consensus Estimate for O’Reilly’s fourth-quarter earnings per share has been revised upward by 14 cents in the past 90 days. Moreover, it compares favorably with the year-ago quarter’s earnings of $5.40 per share, indicating a year-on-year rise of 10.37%. Further, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues suggests a year-over-year rise of 8.36%.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for O’Reilly 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. This has been elaborated below.
Earnings ESP: O’Reilly has an Earnings ESP of +1.72%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate is pegged 11 cents higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
O’Reilly’s wide-ranging product portfolio serving the Do-it-Yourself (DIY) and Do-it-for-Me (DIFM) customers provides the company a competitive edge and is anticipated to have fueled its comparable-store sales growth during the fourth quarter. This, in turn, is likely to have buoyed O’Reilly’s top line during the October-December period.
The company is also likely to have gained from the opening of new stores and distribution centers in profitable regions during the to-be-reported quarter.
Further, O’Reilly’s customer-centric business model and surging demand for technologically-advanced auto parts are likely to have bolstered its sales during the December-end quarter. Robust digitization efforts are also likely to have boosted the company’s performance during the quarter in discussion.
