Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What do the Estimates Indicate?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues is currently pegged at $1,651 million, which calls for a 9.7% decline year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter sales in the U.S. Consumer segment is currently pegged at $1,333 million, suggesting a 3% decline from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter sales in the Hawthorne segment is currently pegged at $207 million, indicating a 43.1% decline from the year-ago quarter's reported figure.
Factors at Play
The company’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from continued strength in the U.S. Consumer segment. It is also likely to have gained from pricing actions and cost savings in the quarter.
The company is expected to have been affected by high commodity and distribution costs. Its Hawthorne segment is likely to have faced headwinds in sales due to an oversupply of cannabis, which is leading to a holdback in indoor and outdoor cultivation. As such, sales in this segment are likely to have been affected in the second quarter.
