Tapestry (TPR) Q3 Earnings Coming Up: What's in the Offing?

Read MoreHide Full Article

We expect Tapestry, Inc. (TPR - Free Report) to report year-over-year increases in the top and the bottom lines when it releases third-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on May 11, before market open.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has been unchanged at 59 cents per share over the past 30 days. The same suggests an increase of 15.7% from the year-earlier quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate of $1,443 million for quarterly revenues indicates growth of 0.4% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.

The owner of Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman brands has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.6%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 7.9%.

Factors to Note

A consumer-centric approach, omni-channel capabilities, brand strength and an emphasis on high-growth areas are likely to have benefited Tapestry’s third-quarter performance. Its Acceleration Program has been another major contributing factor. The company has been focused on deepening engagement with consumers, creating innovative and compelling products, and expanding digital and data analytics capabilities.

On its last reported quarter's earnings call, Tapestry envisioned revenue and earnings growth in the back half, suggesting a return to growth in Greater China and lower freight costs on a year-over-year basis. For the third quarter, the company estimated revenues to increase 3-5% in constant currency, including gains in Greater China. On a reported basis, it expected sales to be up slightly. The company estimated third-quarter earnings to be 60 cents per share, suggesting a sharp increase from earnings of 51 cents reported in the year-ago period.

However, a tough operating environment and foreign exchange headwinds are likely to have been spoilsports. The impacts of higher freight costs cannot be ignored. Meanwhile, any deleverage in SG&A expenses is expected to get reflected in its margins.
