How Vitamin Shoppe (VSI) Looks Just Ahead of Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. is scheduled to release first-quarter 2019 results on May 8 before market open. Per the company’s surprise record, its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters.
Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to the upcoming quarterly announcement.
This renowned specialty retailer of nutritional products has been enduring dismal comparable sales (comps) for a while now due to soft store comps. Consequently, the company closed six underperforming stores in the fourth quarter and is on track to shut down more. We note that charges incurred related to store closures might weigh on the company’s bottom line in the to-be reported quarter.
Nonetheless, the company’s efforts to enhance its in-store and online experience by integrating new technologies are likely to aid sales. Also, its buy online and pickup in store facility should act as a driver. In fact, many other retailers like Walmart WMT, Big Lots and Target (TGT - Free Report) are benefiting from such omnichannel efforts.
Radical New Technology Creates $12.3 Trillion Opportunity
Imagine buying Microsoft stock in the early days of personal computers… or Motorola after it released the world’s first cell phone. These technologies changed our lives and created massive profits for investors.
Today, we’re on the brink of the next quantum leap in technology. 7 innovative companies are leading this “4th Industrial Revolution” - and early investors stand to earn the biggest profits.
