What's in Store for ManpowerGroup (MAN) in Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
ManpowerGroup Inc. (MAN - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2020 results on Apr 21, before the opening bell.
So far this year, shares of the company have declined 37.7% compared with 38.8% fall of the industry it belongs to.
Here are the expectations in detail.
Top-Line Expectations
Challenging market environment in Europe is likely to have hurt ManpowerGroup’s first-quarter revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at $4.33 billion, which indicates a decline of 14.1% year over year.
The Southern Europe segment’s revenues are likely to have declined due to weakness in France and Italy. The consensus mark is pegged at 2.1 billion, which suggests a 0.6% decline year over year. Weakness in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, might reflect on Northern Europe segment’s revenues. The consensus mark is pegged at 1.1 billion, which calls for year-over-year decline of 5%.
In the APME segment, sales are expected to have declined because of weakness in Australia. The consensus mark is pegged at $595 million, which suggests a year-over-year decline of 15%.
The Americas segment is likely to have performed well on the back of revenue growth in the Other Americas subgroup. The consensus mark is pegged at $1 billion, which indicates year-over-year increase of 2%.
In fourth-quarter 2019, revenues of $5.2 billion dropped 3.6% year over year.
Earnings Likely to Decline
Weak operating performance is likely to haveaffected ManpowerGroup’s earnings in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at 97 cents per share, which indicates a decline of 30.22% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
In fourth-quarter 2019, adjusted earnings of $2.15 dropped 11.9% on a year-over-year basis.
The proven Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for ManpowerGroup. This is because a stock needs to have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. However, that is not the case here as elaborated below.
