Burlington Stores (BURL) Q3 Earnings Coming Up: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Burlington Stores, Inc. (BURL - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Nov 21 before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues stands at $2,313 million, indicating an increase of 13.4% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of this off-price retailer of high-quality, branded apparel at everyday low prices is expected to have increased year over year. Although the Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share has fallen by a couple of cents to 99 cents in the past seven days, the figure still suggests a sharp increase from 43 cents reported in the year-ago period.
Burlington Stores has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.3%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Burlington, NJ-based company outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 39.5%.
Factors to Note
Burlington Stores has adeptly responded to the challenges in the retail landscape by strategically emphasizing recognizable brands, implementing the best pricing strategy and targeting trade-down shoppers. The expansion of its merchandise offering, especially the increased focus on recognizable brands, is expected to have positively impacted the company's merchandise margin.
The ongoing new store opening program, coupled with increased real estate availability post-Bed Bath & Beyond's bankruptcy, underscores Burlington Stores' growth trajectory. This strategic move positions the company to capture additional market share, bolstering its overall revenues. We expect a comparable store sales increase of 6.4% for the quarter under discussion.
The ability to quickly respond to evolving market dynamics and adjust inventory levels based on real-time data insights has enabled the company to seize opportunities. On its last earnings call, Burlington Stores guided a 13% to 15% increase in sales, with 5% to 7% growth in comparable store sales. It projected a 170 to 220-basis point increase in the adjusted EBIT margin, excluding incremental expenses associated with the acquired Bed Bath & Beyond leases. We anticipate a 180-basis point expansion in the metric.
Despite the aforementioned tailwinds, we cannot ignore concerns related to the company's dependency on lower-income customers and other operational challenges. The ongoing economic challenges continue to exert pressure on low-income shoppers, limiting discretionary spending. While Burlington Stores is optimistic about its new store opening program, immediate expenses related to the acquisition of 62 store leases from Bed Bath & Beyond may overshadow the expected benefits.
