Factors to Note Ahead of Generac's (GNRC) Q1 Earnings Release
Read MoreHide Full Article
Generac Holdings Inc (GNRC - Free Report) will report first-quarter 2023 results on May 3.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at $840.1 million, indicating a year-over-year decrease of 26.1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 52 cents per share, down 75.1% year over year.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.9%. In the past year, shares of the company have lost 54.9% compared with the sub-industry’s decline of 66.1%.
Generac’s performance is likely to have been affected by the softness of residential products and elevated home standby field inventory levels, which unfavorably impacted orders and shipments. Also, the shipments of clean energy products were lower than anticipated in the last reported quarter.
The company’s margin is likely to have been impacted by rising expenses owing to laying the groundwork for the development of a home energy technology industry. Continued weakness in PWRcell energy storage systems is a major concern.
However, the company’s performance is likely to have been cushioned by strength in the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) products segments’ sales. The company’s international business segment is likely to gain from rising global demand for backup power and mobile products.
The C&I business segment is likely to have benefited from increased federal infrastructure spending and the ongoing improvement of international communication networks. Rising power outages and strengthening end-market activities in the home standby category are also likely to have acted as tailwinds.
