Vista Outdoor (VSTO) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jul 28, before market open. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 13.3%.
How are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal first-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $1.92, suggesting growth of 10.3% from $1.74 reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $785 million, indicating an improvement of 18.4% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the quarter to be reported.
Factors at Play
Vista Outdoor’s fiscal first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from elevated demand with respect to outdoor activities (including golf, cycling and outdoor cooking categories), new product introductions, acquisitions and strategic pricing actions. This and emphasis on marketing and e-commerce enhancements is likely to have boosted the company’s top line in the fiscal first quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total Outdoor Products revenues is pegged at $337 million, indicating growth of 68.5% from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
However, softness in Shooting Sports and supply chain and logistics-related disruptions are likely to have affected the company’s operations in the fiscal first quarter. This and a rise in logistics and commodity costs is likely to have dented margins in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total Shooting Sports revenues is pegged at $450 million, indicating a fall of 2.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
