Stitch Fix (SFIX) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Stitch Fix, Inc. (SFIX - Free Report) is expected to register a decrease in both its top and the bottom line from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure in its first-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Dec 6, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues currently stands at $459.7 million, suggesting a 20.9% decrease from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s tally.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal first quarter’s loss is pegged at 44 cents, wider than the loss of 2 cents a share recorded in the year-earlier fiscal quarter. The consensus estimate has been stable over the past 30 days.
This online personal-styling service provider delivered an earnings surprise of 12.5% in the trailing four quarters, on average.
Factors at Play
Stitch Fix’s quarterly performance is likely to be hurt by a tough macroeconomic environment, including headwinds like supply-chain issues, global inflationary pressures and potential shifts in customer demand. These factors coupled with any deleverage in selling, general and administrative expenses might have affected SFIX’s performance in the fiscal first quarter. In addition, elevated investments in the Freestyle drive and new channels are concerning.
On its last earnings call, management had projected net revenues of $455-$465 million for the fiscal first quarter, indicating a decline of 20-22% from the year-ago fiscal quarter’s reported figure. Stitch Fix anticipated adjusted EBITDA between a negative $10 million and a negative $15 million, with a margin contraction of 2-3%. This view assumes net active clients to decline from the sequential quarter’s level.
However, Stitch Fix has been expanding its digital capabilities and personalized shopping for a while to offer clients the best-in-class service. SFIX’s Freestyle drive offering quite a distinct shopping experience is encouraging. This platform enables customers to discover and buy curated items according to their style, preferences, fit and size.
