Leisure Stocks Earnings Lineup for Oct 30: RCL, MGM & More
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Leisure industry is likely to have gained from higher consumer spending. Apart from higher personal expenditure, increased demand for leisure products and services is likely to get reflected in the industry participants’ quarterly releases.
However, the tariff issues might have curtailed consumer spending on leisure services to a certain extent. Moreover, Trump’s stringent policies on immigration and tourist visas seem to have persuaded international visitors to rethink their vacation plans to the United States.
Per the latest Earnings Preview, total earnings of the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector are expected to be down 0.3%. However, revenues for the sector are likely to improve by 13%.
Let’s take a sneak peek at how the following leisure stocks are poised prior to their earnings release on Oct 30.
According to the Zacks model, 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. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
