MarineMax (HZO) Lined Up for Q4 Earnings: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
MarineMax, Inc. (HZO - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 numbers. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $509 million, indicating an improvement of 10.1% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of this world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer is expected to decline year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share for the quarter under review has decreased by a couple of cents to $1.17 over the past seven days. The figure suggests a decline of 19.3% from the year-ago period.
This Clearwater, FL-based company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 27.6%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 2.9%.
Factors to Note
MarineMax’s significant geographic reach, product diversification and decent demand are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. We note that the company has been mainly benefiting as consumers embrace and enjoy the boating lifestyle. The company’s digitization endeavors have been helping it better engage with customers.
The company’s investments in high-margin businesses, such as finance, insurance, brokerage, marina and service operations, bode well. Impressively, its strategic acquisitions have been playing a major role in driving the top line.
While the aforementioned factors raise optimism, we cannot ignore ongoing supply-chain issues and rising SG&A expenses. Industry experts cautioned that supply-chain issues might cause delivery delays.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for MarineMax this time. 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. However, that’s not the case here. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
MarineMax has an Earnings ESP of +0.28% but a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
