SpartanNash (SPTN) Q2 Earnings Coming Up: What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
SpartanNash Company (SPTN - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports second-quarter 2023 earnings on Aug 17, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2,357 million, indicating a rise of about 3.7% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for second-quarter earnings of 63 cents per share suggests a decrease of 4.6% from the year-ago period’s actual. The consensus mark has been stable over the past 30 days.
A glance at this grocery retailer’s performance over the trailing four quarters shows that it has an earnings surprise of 3.9%, on average.
Factors to Note
SpartanNash second-quarter results are likely to have benefited from the solid execution of its Winning Recipe plan, which focuses on transforming the supply chain to boost overall growth. Its supply-chain transformation and merchandising initiatives have been yielding results. The company has been focused on streamlining its operations and making strategic investments, including the expansion its capabilities across the distribution centers.
In addition, SPTN remains committed to boosting its solutions across the digital and physical platforms and expansion of its grocery services. All these tailwinds are likely to have aided sales results during the quarter under review.
On the flip side, a tough operating landscape, including inflationary pressures, is likely to have been a concern. Any deleverage in the operating expenses is expected to have reflected in SpartanNash’s bottom-line performance in the upcoming quarterly release. The company has been witnessing higher operating costs for a while now.
