Here's How Molson Coors (TAP) is Placed Ahead of Q4 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Molson Coors Beverage Company (TAP - Free Report) is slated to release fourth-quarter 2019 results on Feb 12. In the last reported quarter, the leading alcohol company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 1.4%. However, it delivered a negative earnings surprise of 1.9%, on average, over the trailing four quarters.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings is 77 cents, suggesting 8.3% decline from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark has moved downward in the past 30 days. For fourth-quarter revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $2.51 billion, suggesting 3.6% growth from the prior-year reported figure.
Key Factors to Note
Molson Coors has been benefiting significantly from the execution of premiumization and cost-saving initiatives, as well as the revitalization plan. Gains from restructuring initiatives are likely to have partly reduced overhead costs and in turn aided its bottom-line performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Molson Coors Brewing Company Price and EPS Surprise
The company has been focusing on initiatives to improve the supply-chain network, enhance efficiencies across the business to generate additional resources, and invest in brand building and innovation. These efforts are likely to have contributed meaningfully to growth in the fourth quarter.
Its top line has been soft owing to volume decline across all segments, thanks to a challenging industry backdrop. This apart, commodity inflation and higher input costs have been hurting the bottom line.
In the last earnings call, management stated that higher input costs, volume deleverage and increased packaging expenses are expected to impact cost of goods sold per hectoliter. These factors are likely to get reflected on margins and in turn the bottom line.
