What's in Store for BJ's Restaurants' (BJRI) Q4 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
BJ's Restaurants, Inc. (BJRI - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2021 results on Feb 16, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 262.5%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of 2 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported an adjusted loss per share of 80 cents. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $297.3 million, suggesting an improvement of 51.2% from the prior-year quarter.
Factors to Note
BJ's Restaurants fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from improvement in traffic and comps. Comps in the quarter to be reported might have gained from solid recovery in dining room sales. Robust off-premise sales owing to an expanded family feast and bundle offerings are likely to have favored the company’s quarterly performance. Focus on unit expansion, slow-roasted protein platform and Beer Club subscription services may have contributed to the fourth-quarter performance as well. The company has been benefiting from its focus on refining and streamlining its menu for improved traffic.
The company has been receiving positive reviews with respect to its beer subscription service — Beer Club. It has been witnessing high customer engagement, courtesy of new beer releases and program benefits. Higher pre-opening costs, marketing expenses and costs related to sales-boosting initiatives are likely to have dented the company’s margin in the quarter to be reported. Particularly, slow roasting ovens and handheld tablets are adding to the restaurants’ costs.
