Five Below's (FIVE) Q1 Earnings Coming Up: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Five Below, Inc. (FIVE - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Jun 1 after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $729.2 million, suggesting an improvement of 14% from the prior-year reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 62 cents over the past 30 days. The figure indicates an increase of 5.1% from the prior-year quarter.
This extreme-value retailer for tweens, teens and beyond has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 26.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 0.3%.
Factors to Consider
Five Below’s focus on providing trend-right products, improving the supply chain, strengthening digital capabilities and growing its brick-and-mortar footprint bodes well. The company is known for its impressive range of merchandise, per evolving consumer trends. These factors, combined with its pricing strategy, enable it to cater to demographic shoppers and resonate with value-seeking customers.
We believe the higher penetration of Five Beyond and the e-commerce business, new customer acquisitions, the sales lift from remodels and conversions and selective merchandise price increases in response to inflation are likely to have favorably impacted the company’s sales.
Five Below had earlier guided first-quarter fiscal 2023 net sales in the band of $723 million- $735 million, with comparable sales anticipated to increase in the range of 2.5-4%. Management had earlier guided first-quarter earnings between 59 cents and 65 cents per share.
