Factors to Note

Ethan Allen is expected to have witnessed lackluster earnings and revenues performances in the fiscal second quarter, thanks to labor disruptions, supply-chain challenges, shipping delays and raw material availability. Although the prevailing issues have started resolving, the to-be-reported quarter is still expected to have witnessed the impacts of these headwinds.

The industry has been suffering from an uncertain macro environment and continued softness in business trends as a result of the ongoing weakness in the housing market and the Federal Reserve’s series of interest rate hikes. Higher mortgage rates have been taking a toll on the housing sector and the furnishing market as well.

That said, a strong brand presence, robust product offerings and increased digital marketing are likely to have aided ETD. Also, its manufacturing facilities have been ramping up production to meet high order backlogs, which is likely to have added to the positives.
