Earnings Whispers for Winnebago
Thor’s closest peer Winnebago Industries (WGO - Free Report) is expected to report fiscal second-quarter 2022 results soon. Winnebago surpassed earnings estimates in the last four quarters, with an average of 40%. Our proven model, however, does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for WGO this time around because the company doesn’t have the right combination of a positive ESP and a favorable Zacks Rank.
Winnebago has an Earnings ESP of -2.88% and a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for WGO’s to-be-reported quarter’s earnings and revenues is pegged at $3.06 per share and $1.1 billion, respectively.
