Guess? (GES) Queued for Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Guess?, Inc. (GES - Free Report) is likely to witness a year-over-year increase in the top line when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings on Mar 16. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $809 million, suggesting a rise of 24.8% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has remained stable over the past 30 days at $1.16 per share, indicating a decline of 1.7% from the figure reported in the prior-year period. Guess?, which designs, markets, distributes and licenses lifestyle collections of apparel and accessories, has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 97%, on average. GES delivered an earnings surprise of 34.8% in the last reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2022 revenues stands at $2.6 billion, suggesting a 38.6% jump from the figure reported in the prior-year period. The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at $2.97 for fiscal 2022, indicating a stark improvement from a loss of 7 cents reported in the same period last year.
Guess? has been benefiting from its focus on six key strategies. These include organization and culture, functional capacities, brand relevance with three main consumer groups (heritage, Millennials and Generation Z customers), customer focus, product brilliance and international footprint. Further, the company’s solid digital business has been a driver. Guess? has been committed to customer-centric initiatives, which include omnichannel capabilities as well as advanced data analytics and customer segmentation. On its last earnings call, management stated that it expects to see a continued improvement in its global e-commerce business through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.
That said, GES has been bearing the brunt of pandemic-related disruptions, such as challenges related to lower store traffic and capacity restrictions. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, Guess? expects revenues to have declined in mid-single digits from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The guidance indicates an impact from permanent store closures and an unfavorable shift of European wholesale shipments from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to the first quarter of 2023. These are likely to have been partially offset by the momentum in the company’s global e-commerce business. Management’s fiscal 2022 top-line view suggests a decline in the low single digits from fiscal 2020’s level, considering no more pandemic-related closures.
