Things You Need to Know Before Buckle's (BKE) Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Buckle, Inc. (BKE - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2019 numbers on Nov 22, before the market open. We note that the company’s bottom line has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 6.3%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has moved north by 6.8% over the past 30 days to 47 cents. This suggests a rise of 11.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $224.1 million, indicating an increase of 4.2% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Buckle, Inc. (The) Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Buckle’s comparable store sales (comps) witnessed an improvement in the third quarter. The company recently came out with its third-quarter sales number, wherein comps grew 4.7%. Net sales for the quarter also increased 4.2% to $224.1 million from the year-ago quarter’s $215.1 million. This marks the company’s second straight quarter of increase in sales and comps. Notably, comps have shown improvement in all the three months of the quarter — 8.5% in October, 3% in September and 3.1% in August.
Also, the company has been progressing well with both its men’s and women’s category. Buckle has been witnessing growth in online sales for a while now. Apart from these, it has been focusing on enhancing marketing efficiency, store remodeling and technology upgrades. However, any deleverage in SG&A rate and increased buying, distribution, and occupancy costs are concerns.
