Factors Setting the Tone for Eldorado's (ERI) Q1 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eldorado Resorts, Inc. is scheduled to report first-quarter 2020 results on May 11, after market close. In the last-reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 8.3%.
How Are Estimates Placed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at 9 cents. This indicates an 81.6% decline from 49 cents registered in the year-ago quarter. Revenues are expected at $554.3 million, suggesting a decline of 12.8% from the year-earlier reported figure.
Let's take a look at how things have shaped up in the quarter.
The coronavirus pandemic is expected to have materially affected Eldorado’s performance in the first quarter.
Decline in traffic due to temporary shutdown of casino operations in the month of March is likely to get reflected on top-line results. Also, rise in acquisition costs is likely to have weighed on margins. Cash burn due to the closure of properties is likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line.
Nonetheless, the partnership deal with William Hill, increased exposure to sports betting markets through mobile gaming applications along with a rise in sportsbook venues are likely to have aided the company performance in the first quarter. Moreover, a geographically-diversified regional gaming platform is likely to have boosted the top line.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Eldorado this time around. A stock needs to have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) to beat estimates. That is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Eldorado has an Earnings ESP of -405.36%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
