How is Kellogg (K) Positioned Ahead of Q1 Earnings Release?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Kellogg Company (K - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth when it reports first-quarter 2023 earnings on May 4. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $3,957 million, suggesting a jump of 7.8% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at $1 per share. The projection suggests a 9.1% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Kellogg has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 12.3%, on average. This snacks and convenience food company delivered an earnings surprise of 11.9% in the last reported quarter.
We expect first-quarter revenues to grow 3.6% to $3,805.9 million and adjusted earnings per share (EPS) to decline to $1.
Kellogg has been gaining from revenue growth management, momentum across snacks and emerging markets as well as recovery in the North America cereal business. Management expects price realization, momentum in its categories and solid brand plans to contribute to its net sales growth in 2023. This bodes well for the quarter under review.
Kellogg has been seeing the adverse impacts of input cost inflation stemming from global constraints and shortages. Escalated SG&A expenses have also been a concern. These factors may have affected Kellogg’s profits in the first quarter.
