Cumulus Media (CMLS) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Cumulus Media (CMLS - Free Report) is set to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 3.
For second-quarter 2022, the consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $235.8 million, indicating 4.9% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has declined 3.6% to 53 cents per share in the past 30 days. The figure suggests a 1866.6% surge from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters and missed once. Cumulus Media has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 108.06%, on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Cumulus Media’s second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from the growth of its digital business as well as the national spot and network broadcast revenue channels.
C-Suite, the company’s local digital marketing services platform, has been gaining traction and its client base increasing rapidly.
Moreover, the company’s podcast content in news talk and sports areas has also been a key catalyst. In the first quarter, the top 5 ranks podcasting business grew more than 20% sequentially, delivering its tenth consecutive quarter of sequential growth. The trend is expected to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.
Advertisers, however, continue to face supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages, and many others are contending with rising costs amid record inflation, which have led to cutbacks in spending on advertising. This is expected to have dampened demand for the company’s advertising solutions in the to-be-reported quarter.
