ARCO Gears Up for Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing for the Stock?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (ARCO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2025 results on May 14, 2025. In the preceding quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 27.3%.
ARCO’s Q1 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 13 cents per share, down 7.1% year over year. In the past 30 days, earnings estimates for the current quarter have remained stable. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $1.07 billion, down 1.3% year over year.
Factors to Note Ahead of ARCO’s Q1 Release
Arcos Dorados’ first-quarter 2025 results are likely to be hurt by macroeconomic headwinds and shifts in consumer sentiment. It anticipates comparable sales growth in the first quarter to have been soft, owing to transitory challenges that have been broadly affecting consumer-facing businesses in Latin America.
One of the factors contributing to this expected softness is the comparison against a leap year, which has created a tougher year-over-year benchmark. Additionally, weaker currency levels in many of the company’s core markets are expected to have weighed on the quarter’s performance.
On the other hand, high costs are likely to have hurt the bottom line. ARCO continues to invest in its digital and IT infrastructure, including restaurant-level digital tools, which is likely to have increased operational expenses. These investments aim to improve long-term efficiency and customer experience but might have increased short-term costs.
