Prestige Consumer (PBH) to Post Q3 Earnings: Factors to Consider
Read MoreHide Full Article
Prestige Consumer Healthcare Inc. (PBH - Free Report) is likely to register top-line growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure when it reports third-quarter fiscal 2023 earnings on Feb 2, before the market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $273 million, indicating a 0.3% rise from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in the fiscal third quarter has been stable at $1.01 per share in the past 30 days. The estimate suggests an almost 2% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Prestige Consumer delivered an earnings surprise of 2% in the last reported quarter. PBH has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.3%, on average.
Key Factors to Note
Prestige Consumer’s performance in the fiscal third quarter is likely to have benefited from its efficient brand-building strategies, robust e-commerce business and market share gains. PBH has been experiencing high demand for a while across certain categories, brands and channels. PBH has been making multi-year e-commerce investments for a while now. These tailwinds along with contributions from the Akorn buyout might aid its quarterly results.
However, a tough operating backdrop, including supply-chain headwinds and inflationary pressures, might have been deterrents. In addition, Prestige Consumer has been encountering cost-related hurdles for a while now. These weaknesses and any deleverage in operating expenses might have hurt Prestige Consumer’s margins in the quarter under review. On its last earnings call, management anticipated a gross margin of little less than 55% in the fiscal third quarter, down from 55.7% recorded in the year-earlier quarter.
