Purple Innovation (PRPL) Q3 Earnings Coming Up: What to Expect

Read MoreHide Full Article

Purple Innovation, Inc. (PRPL - Free Report) is expected to report third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 9, after the closing bell. The leading premium mattress company is anticipated to witness an increase in the top line in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $160 million, indicating a rise of about 12% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus estimate for a loss of 2 cents per share compares unfavorably with the year-ago quarter’s earnings of 3 cents a share. The consensus mark has been unchanged in the past 30 days.

In the last reported quarter, the company posted a negative earnings surprise of 66.7%. However, it has delivered an earnings surprise of 6.1%, on average, in the trailing four quarters.

Factors to Note

Purple Innovation’s quarterly performance is expected to have gained from the innovative product line, brand development and expansion strategies. Its top line during the third quarter is likely to have benefited from consumers’ enhanced spending on products, which aid comfortable living. It has also been making cost-control efforts to boost efficiency.

We note that Purple Innovation has been gaining from growth in its direct-to-consumer (DTC) channel, backed by consumers’ enhanced inclination toward online services. In order to effectively capture accelerated growth in e-commerce, the company has been on track to ramp up fulfillment center capabilities as well as production. Such efforts are likely to have favored the DTC channel’s growth during the quarter under review. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DTC revenues is pegged at $89 million, reflecting growth of 30.9% from the preceding quarter.
 
However, the company’s third-quarter results are likely to continue reflecting the impacts of the ongoing shift in demand for home-related products and inflationary pressures on discretionary consumer spending. These factors, coupled with any deleverage in operating expenses, are likely to have weighed on the company’s bottom-line performance during the quarter under review.
