Gannett (GCI) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Gannett Co., Inc. (GCI - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2021 results on May 7, before the bell.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in one, delivering an earnings surprise of 19.8%, on average.
Expectations This Time Around
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter stands at $786 million, indicating 17.2% decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual figure. The pandemic-led decline in sales is expected to have dented the top line.
The bottom line is likely to have been positively impacted by cost reductions and synergy savings. The consensus mark is pegged at a loss of 17 cents for the to-be-reported quarter, indicating improvement from loss of 35 cents incurred in the year-ago quarter.
