Will Winnebago's (WGO) Q3 Earnings Pull Off a Surprise?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Winnebago Industries (WGO - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 22, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings per share and revenues is pegged at $3.01 and $1.2 billion, respectively.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Winnebago’s fiscal third-quarter earnings per share has been revised upward by 4 cents in the past 30 days. The bottom-line projection implies a year-over-year uptick of 39.4%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues also suggests a year-over-year rise of 25.4%.
One of the leading recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturers in the world, Winnebago posted better-than-expected earnings in the last reported quarter on higher-than-anticipated revenues from the Towable segment. The company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters, with the average being 27.1%. Investors are expecting WGO to pull off an earnings beat this time as well. Encouragingly, our model also predicts the same.
Factors Shaping Q3 Results
Demand for RVs continues because of safe travel enthusiasts and millennials’ zeal for off-the-grid living, resulting in massive order backlogs for companies like Thor. The sustained inclination of people to opt for RVs to go camping around the country or enjoy a vacation is anticipated to have boosted the demand for Winnebago’s products during the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Towable segment revenues is pegged at $704 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 26.6%. Strong consumer demand for Grand Design and Winnebago’s product lines is likely to have driven revenues. The consensus estimate for the Motorhome segment revenues is pinned at $408 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 6%. Additionally, the acquisition of Barletta has fortified Winnebago’s marine market foothold and augmented its revenue stream beyond RVs. The buyout is likely to have boosted the company’s top line during the to-be-reported quarter.
On the flip side, Winnebago is facing temporary hiccups owing to supply constraints and the shortage of various RV components. Rising commodity and operational costs might have also limited overall margins during the fiscal third quarter.
