Buckle (BKE) Queued Up for Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Buckle, Inc. (BKE - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top and the bottom line from the year-ago quarter’s respective reported figures when it announces fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 earnings on Mar 11, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly sales is pegged at $380.9 million, indicating growth of 19.5% from the year-ago period’s tally.
BKE registered higher sales in all the three months of the quarter under review. The apparel, footwear and accessories retailer recorded net sales growth of 2.9%, 17.3% and 35.9%, respectively, for January, December and November.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings is pegged at $1.48, suggesting a rise of 11.3% from the year-ago period’s tally. The consensus mark has increased 14.7% in the past 30 days.
This Kearney, NE-based player’s performance in the trailing four quarters shows that it has an earnings surprise of 42.8%, on average. In the last reported quarter, BKE delivered an earnings surprise of 26%.
Key Factors to Note
Strength in Buckle’s men’s and women’s divisions plus gains from online business are most likely to have boosted its sales in the fiscal fourth quarter. Apart from BKE’s men’s and women’s business, the Youth business continues to yield well on solid denims and knits. Categories like accessory, footwear, dresses, tops and its private label business have been performing well for a while. No wonder, BKE is focused on enhancing its omni-channel capabilities. It is also steadily expanding its assortment offerings to meet consumers’ altering preferences. Moreover, BKE’s store-expansion and remodeling efforts appear fruitful.
These initiatives have been aiding Buckle’s comparable-store sales (comps) for a while now. The metric increased in all the three months of the quarter to be reported. Comps jumped 4.2%, 17.7% and 36%, respectively, in January, December and November.
While the aforementioned factors raise optimism about the quarterly performance, any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses is concerning. Buckle is also battling several challenges in relation to the supply chain due to coronavirus.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Buckle 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. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Although Buckle carries a Zacks Rank #3, its Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes surprise prediction difficult.
