Zacks Investment Research | Aug 16, 2021 12:10AM ET
If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Tapestry (NYSE:TPR). This company, which is in the Zacks Retail - Apparel and Shoes industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.
This maker of high-end shoes and handbags has seen a nice streak of beating earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The average surprise for the last two quarters was 42.50%.
For the last reported quarter, Tapestry came out with earnings of $0.51 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.30 per share, representing a surprise of 70%. For the previous quarter, the company was expected to post earnings of $1 per share and it actually produced earnings of $1.15 per share, delivering a surprise of 15%.
Price and EPS Surprise
Thanks in part to this history, there has been a favorable change in earnings estimates for Tapestry lately. In fact, the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) for the stock is positive, which is a great indicator of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time . In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Tapestry has an Earnings ESP of +6.06% at the moment, suggesting that analysts have grown bullish on its near-term earnings potential. When you combine this positive Earnings ESP with the stock's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), it shows that another beat is possibly around the corner. The company's next earnings report is expected to be released on August 19, 2021.
Investors should note, however, that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss, but a negative value does reduce the predictive power of this metric.
