Read MoreHide Full Article

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly sales is pegged at $353.2 million, indicating growth of about 7% from the last fiscal-year period’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at $1.80, suggesting a rise of 7.1% from the year-ago fiscal period’s tally. The consensus mark has been stable in the past 30 days.

Key Factors to Note
Zumiez’s customer-centric business model, differentiated product assortments and improved omni-channel solutions are likely to have favorably impacted its top-line performance in the fiscal fourth quarter. Also, its one-channel concept and advanced in-store fulfillment capabilities are tailwinds. ZUMZ’s men’s, accessories and footwear categories are performing well.
Additionally, Zumiez’s strategy to optimize its store base, including expansion in the underpenetrated markets, looks appealing. These strengths coupled with its efforts to meet robust demand for the distinct merchandise offering might have contributed to its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Zumiez performed well during the holiday season. We note that total net sales rose 9% for the nine-week period ended Jan 1, 2022 from the level reported in the nine-week period ended Jan 2, 2021. For the same period, ZUMZ reported comparable sales growth of 6%. Region-wise, North America net sales rose 5.1%, while Other international net sales comprising Europe and Australia surged 36.6%. In the period under review, ZUMZ’s Men’s category registered the largest comparable sales growth, followed by Footwear, Accessories and Women’s.
Following the holiday results released on Jan 10, management reaffirmed fiscal 2021 net sales growth projection of just above 20% from the year-ago fiscal’s reported figure. Zumiez continues to expect fourth-quarter net sales to be higher than the last fiscal-year quarter’s reported number.
