Camping World Holdings Inc. Price and EPS Surprise

 

Factors at Play

Camping World’s first-quarter revenues are likely to have been affected by the dismal performance of the Products, service and other segment. Notably the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Products, service and other sales is pinned at $183 million, indicating a decline of 10.7% from the year-ago quarter.

Also, initiatives to consolidate its retail operations, and reduce product inventories and overhead levels are likely to get reflected on the revenue results.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for New vehicles sales is pegged at $540 million, indicating growth of 2% from the prior-year quarter. Also, revenues from Finance and insurance as well as Used vehicles are likely to have risen from the year-ago quarter levels.

However, high operating costs are likely to have marred the bottom line in the quarter.
