What to Note Ahead of Construction Partners (ROAD) Q4 Earnings

Read MoreHide Full Article

Construction Partners, Inc. (ROAD - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Nov 22, before the opening bell.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 109.1% and 19.7%, respectively. Both metrics increased 27.8% and 45.3% year over year, respectively. The upside was mainly backed by solid organic growth and acquisition benefits.

This vertically-integrated civil infrastructure company surpassed earnings estimates in just one of the trailing four quarters, meeting once and lagging on the other two occasions.

Earnings & Revenue Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Construction Partners’ fiscal fourth-quarter earnings has remained stable at 25 cents per share in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 66.7% increase on a year-over-year basis. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $360.34 million, indicating a year-over-year rise of 29.1%.

Factors to Note

Construction Partners’ revenues and earnings are expected to have increased in the fiscal fourth quarter. The upside can be attributed to solid demand for infrastructure services throughout end markets in private and public sectors, consistent execution of its business model and a growth strategy that defies labor, inflation and supply-chain challenges.

Also, organic and inorganic growth opportunities in the attractive Southeastern U.S. road construction/repair market are expected to have helped the company generate higher revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. Backed by solid wins and shorter-duration projects generating higher turnover in backlogs, ROAD expects strong earnings for the fiscal fourth quarter.

Yet, macroeconomic uncertainties like supply chain challenges, tight labor and higher fuel costs are likely to have put pressure on the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
