Jack in the Box (JACK) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Jack in the Box Inc. (JACK - Free Report) is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Nov 18. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26.5%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.14, which indicates an improvement of 20% from the prior-year quarter In the past 30 days, earnings estimates have been stable. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $249 million, which suggests growth of 12.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Factors to Note
Jack in the Box’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust comps and average check growth. The company has been gaining from menu innovation, robust delivery and marketing. Its partnership with DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub and Uber Eats have been driving sales. Notably, focused menu inventions around premium products like Buttery Jack Burgers, sauced & Loaded Fries, munchie mash-ups and teriyaki bowls have been contributing to the comps.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for franchise rental revenues, and franchise and royalties and other are pegged at $77 million and $42.8 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 20.3% and 9.7%, respectively.
Notably, high costs related to various sales-boosting initiatives, labor inflation and rise in delivery fees might have weighed on the to-be-reported quarter’s performance.
Our proven model conclusively predicts an earnings beat for Jack in the Box this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.

Last year, it generated $24 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $77.6 billion.
