Let us find out how YETI Holdings’ first-quarter results will shape up.
Top-Line Scenario Encourages
We believe that YETI Holdings’ revenues in the first quarter have gained, owing to the continued improvement across revenue channels. Its Wholesale segment, which grew 4% in the fourth quarter, is likely to have kept its momentum alive in the first quarter as well. Also, the direct-to-consumer business continues to be the major growth driver for the company.
Product launches as well as digital advertising also bolstered top-line growth over the last two reported quarters. These are likely to have driven revenues in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for YETI Holdings’ revenues in the first quarter is pegged at $142.6 million.
How Will Earnings Shape Up?
The consensus estimate for YETI Holdings’ earnings in the first quarter is pegged at 3 cents. We believe that its high margins from continued cost improvements across product categories are likely to have aided earnings in the first quarter.
However, the company has also been recurring high expenses from marketing initiatives, which in turn may have curtailed earnings growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
What Does the Zacks Model Unveil?
Our proven model does show that YETI Holdings is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both — a positive Zacks Investment Research
