Stitch Fix (SFIX) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Stitch Fix, Inc. (SFIX - Free Report) is expected to register a decrease in both its top and bottom line from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure when it releases fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 earningson Sep 20, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues currently stands at $489 million, suggesting a fall of 14.3% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth quarter’s loss is pegged at 60 cents. The year-earlier fiscal quarter delivered earnings per share of 19 cents. The consensus estimate has been stable over the past 30 days.
A glimpse of this online personal-styling service provider’s performance shows that it delivered an earnings surprise of 73.5% in the trailing four quarters, on average.
Factors at Play
Stitch Fix’s quarterly performance might have been hurt by a tough macroeconomic environment, including headwinds like supply-chain issues, global inflationary pressures and potential shifts in customer demand. Any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses might have affected SFIX’s bottom line in the fiscal fourth quarter. In addition, elevated investments toward the Freestyle drive and new channels are concerning.
On its last earnings call, management had projected net revenues of $485-$495 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, indicating a decline of 13-15% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure. Stitch Fix anticipated adjusted EBITDA between a negative $25 million and a negative $30 million, with a margin contraction of 5-6%.
However, Stitch Fix has been expanding its digital capabilities and personalized shopping for a while to offer clients the best-in-class service. SFIX’s Freestyle drive offering quite a distinct shopping experience is encouraging. This platform allows customers to discover and buy curated items according to their style, preferences, fit and size.
