Encore Wire (WIRE) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Encore Wire Corporation is expected to report a year-over-year earnings decline in its third-quarter 2022 results next week.
Q2 Results
Encore Wire’s second-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and increased year over year. WIRE’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, at an average of 195%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $4.63 per share, suggesting a decline of 45% year over year. The estimate has remained unchanged in the past 30 days.
Key Factors
Encore Wire has been witnessing volume growth for three consecutive quarters, driven by continued increasing demand for data centers, healthcare and renewable product solutions. Robust demand and higher shipment volume for copper and aluminum wire are expected to be reflected in the company’s third-quarter results.
With new capacity coming online this year, the company remains well-positioned to capture incremental market share and volume growth in the current economic environment. Encore Wire’s repurposing of the vacated distribution center to expand manufacturing capacity and extend market reach are likely to have been the catalysts in the quarter. The company’s investments to modernize manufacturing facilities and its focus on operational execution as well as product innovation may have aided growth in the third quarter.
Despite healthy demand for its products, the downtrend in copper and aluminum prices throughout the quarter will likely reflect on the company’s results. On top of this, the company had to contend with higher raw material and input costs as well as supply-chain issues. All of these factors are expected to have affected the company’s margins in the third quarter. WIRE’s cost-reduction actions and pricing actions are likely to have somewhat offset these negatives in the September-ended quarter.

The proven Zacks model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Encore Wire this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat.
