What the Zacks Model Unveils for Avery Dennison
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for AVY this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here, as you can see below.
You can uncover the best stocks before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Earnings ESP: Avery Dennison has an Earnings ESP of -0.53%.
Zacks Rank: AVY currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped AVY’s Q3 Performance
Avery Dennison’s Materials Group segment continues to gain from productivity improvement and modest volume. Our model predicts the Materials Group segment’s revenues to rise 6.2% year over year in the quarter to $1.61 billion. The upside will be driven by growth in base business and high-value categories led by specialty labels, as well as contributions from productivity initiatives and pricing actions. Our estimate for the Materials Group segment’s adjusted operating profit is pinned at $235.5 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 2.3%.
High-value categories and productivity are expected to have aided the Solutions Group segment's growth. However, the segment is facing softer auto end-market demand and customer order timing in some higher-value platforms. Our model predicts the Solutions Group segment’s revenues to be $692 million, indicating a dip of 1% from the prior-year quarter’s actual. Our estimate for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $72 million, implying an increase of 3.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
AVY expects much of the customer inventory stocking recorded in the first half to unwind during the second half, with most destocking anticipated in the third quarter. The company consequently expects a greater-than-historical sequential earnings decline for that period.
Rising input costs are expected to have impacted the company’s margins. The impacts are anticipated to have been offset by AVY’s productivity improvement and cost-saving actions.
Avery Dennison Stock’s Price Performance
