SpartanNash (SPTN) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
SpartanNash Company (SPTN - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top and the bottom lines when it reports second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 18, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2,134 million, indicating a rise of about 1% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings of 58 cents suggests growth of 7.4% from the year-ago period’s tally. The consensus mark has been stable over the past 30 days.
A glance at this grocery retailer’s performance over the trailing four quarters shows that it has an earnings surprise of 0.04%, on average.
Factors to Note
SpartanNash second-quarter results are likely to benefit from the solid execution of its Winning Recipe plan, which focuses on transforming its supply chain to boost overall growth. The company is focused on streamlining its operations and making strategic investments, including expansion of capabilities across the distribution centers.
In addition, SPTN remains committed toward e-commerce strategy, which has been boosting its solutions across both the digital and physical platforms, and expansion of its grocery services. All these tailwinds coupled with the improving trends at SPTN’s Retail unit might have aided the results during the quarter under review.
On the flip side, supply-chain issues, inflationary pressures and labor shortages might have been concerns. Any deleverage in the operating expenses is likely to show on SpartanNash’s bottom-line performance in the upcoming quarterly release. The company has been witnessing higher operating costs for a while now.
