Pool Corp (POOL) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Pool Corporation (POOL - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Jul 21, before market open. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 44.1%.
How are Estimates Faring?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at $7.40, which indicates growth of 16.2% from $6.37 registered in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $2,127 million, suggesting an increase of 19% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Let’s analyze the factors that will likely make an impact this earnings season.
Factors at Play
Pool Corp’s second-quarter top-line is likely to have benefitted from elevated demand for maintenance and repair products, new pool construction backlogs, the continuation of de-urbanization trends and strengthening of the southern migration. This and the focus on Porpoise Pool & Patio acquisition, supply chain initiatives and pricing management are likely to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The addition of Pinch A Penny is likely to have boosted the company’s presence in the DIY market segment. During the previous quarter, Pinch A Penny added two new franchise locations and stated to have initiated work on chemical sourcing and product management. Also, it reported brisk store traffic and solid demand across the platform. Given the acquisition synergies and robust development pipeline, the momentum is likely to have persisted in the second quarter.
However, rising labor and freight costs and investments in digital transformation initiatives and expansion of the sales center network are likely to have flared up expenses in the second quarter. This and logistical slowdowns in Southern Europe are likely to have affected the company’s operations in the to-be-reported quarter.
