Read MoreHide Full Article
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. is slated to release second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Sep 29. This leading specialty retailer is expected to deliver sales and earnings declines in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of $1.59 per share, suggesting a 4,075% decline from the year-ago quarter's reported figure. The loss estimate has further widened in the past 30 days. The consensus mark for fiscal second-quarter sales is pegged at $1.44 billion, suggesting a 27.3% decline from the prior-year reported number.
We expect the company’s fiscal second-quarter total revenues to decline 25.2% year over year to $1,485.4 million. We expect the company to report a loss of $1.43 per share against earnings of 4 cents reported in the prior-year quarter.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 112.8%. Also, the company has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 1,635%, on average.
Bed Bath & Beyond has been gaining from continued strength in its digital channel, driven by enhanced omnichannel capabilities, including buy online and pick up in store, and same-day delivery services. On the last reported quarter’s earnings call, management noted that digital sales were nearly in-line with pre-pandemic levels. Management remained optimistic about the growth of its digital channel and is making efforts to offer an improved customer experience. The robust trends in the digital business are expected to have boosted the top line in the fiscal second quarter.
The company has been progressing well with the transformation plan, including store fleet optimization efforts and store remodeling programs. Bed Bath & Beyond has been on track with the rollout of Owned Brands as part of its three-year transformation plan. The gains from the rollout of newer brands are expected to have aided the company's performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, BBBY’s second-quarter fiscal 2022 results are likely to be affected by the ongoing macroeconomic environment, the shift in customer preference, rising inflation, supply-chain challenges, and significant dislocation in sales and inventory. Weak margins and high debt levels are also concerns.
To combat the higher supply-chain costs, the company has been adjusting its supply-chain infrastructure and cost structure to reflect lower sales. These are likely to have affected the company’s top and bottom lines in the to-be-reported quarter. Also, delayed unit receipts and long transit times, as well as significant muted demand, are expected to have acted as deterrents in the fiscal second quarter.
