Factors Likely to Impact E.l.f. Beauty (ELF) in Q2 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
E.l.f Beauty, Inc. (ELF - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2020 numbers on Nov 6. The company’s earnings outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 72.2%. In the last reported quarter, it witnessed significant positive earnings surprise.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter earnings is pegged at 9 cents per share, indicating a decline of 47.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for the same has been unchanged over the past 30 days. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $59.5 million, suggesting a decline of 6.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
E.l.f Beauty has been facing headwinds related to high tariffs from escalated US-China trade war. Notably, the recent hike in tariffs of 10%, effective Sep 1, might have had an adverse impact on certain products, including brushes and tools. Moreover, tariff-related headwinds might have affected margins in the fiscal second quarter. However, any pricing actions and cost-saving plan undertaken by management might have aided in mitigating the impact of tariffs.
Further, it has been making efforts to enhance its digital capabilities. This along with a revamped Beauty Squad loyalty program might have worked in favor of the company in the fiscal second quarter.
