The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 66 cents per share, which indicates a decline of 37.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. However, the consensus mark has moved up by a penny in the past seven days. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $614.8 million, indicating growth of 31.5% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 27.9%. It delivered an earnings surprise of 52.7%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.
Factors to Note
Aaron’s has been reeling under ongoing inflationary pressures, uncertainty related to geopolitical conflict and supply-chain challenges. Expected normalization in the lease renewal rate and a decline in early purchase options are likely to have been concerning.
However, the company has been witnessing strength in its e-commerce platform, driven by increased investments in digital marketing, improved shopping experience, same-day and next-day delivery services, the personalization of products, and a broader assortment, including the latest product categories. Its express delivery program also bodes well.
The sturdy performance in GenNext stores remains a key growth driver. Aaron’s newly acquired appliance and electronics retailer, BrandsMart, is also likely to have strengthened its market position and expanded the customer base. The deal is also expected to have aided Aaron’s top line in the second quarter.
