The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Apogee’s earnings per share is pegged at 98 cents for the fiscal first quarter, suggesting growth of 55.6% from the prior-year quarter's reported figure. The consensus estimate has been unchanged over the past 30 days. The same for revenues is pegged at $354.6 million, indicating 6% year-over-year growth.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors at Play
Apogee’s fiscal third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the ongoing momentum in Architectural Services and Framing Systems segments. Rising order trends in the Architectural Services segment are likely to reflect in the segment’s top-line results. The Architectural Services segment has been winning several new project awards. The Large-Scale Optical segment’s results are likely to reflect improved pricing and higher sales volumes. The Framing Systems segment is expected to have witnessed an improved margin performance in the quarter under review. Pricing actions, and benefits from completed restructuring actions and cost-saving actions are expected to have offset the impacts of supply-chain and inflation headwinds.
Nevertheless, inflationary pressures, supply-chain disruptions and labor constraints are anticipated to have impacted the company’s production levels, impairing its ability to meet demand levels. The company's efforts to cut costs, and improve productivity and efficiency are expected to have negated the impacts of higher costs on its margins.
