SEZL has an impressive record of earnings surprises. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the four trailing quarters, with an average surprise of 125.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $4.9 billion, suggesting growth of 12.3% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
We anticipate the primary growth driver to have been the increasing premium subscribers. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for premium subscribers is pinned at 281.2 million, indicating a 7% year-over-year rise. Having said that, the recent price hike is expected to have further pushed the average revenues per user up a notch.
On the content front, increasing subscriber value on the back of the expansion of audiobooks to new markets and the launch of the Audiobooks+ add-on for premium users are factors that are anticipated to have supported subscriber acquisition.
We are quite confident that the ad-supported segment is likely to have boosted the top line as well on the back of automated sales.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is $1.87, hinting at year-over-year 17.6% growth.
