BJ's Wholesale (BJ) Queued for Q4 Earnings: Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (BJ - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Mar 9, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $4,809 million, indicating growth of 10.4% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of this operator of membership warehouse clubs is expected to increase year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 88 cents over the past 30 days and suggests an increase of 10% from the year-ago period.
We expect total revenues to be up 9.6% year over year to $4,776 million and the bottom line to increase 5.5% to 84 cents a share.
BJ's Wholesale has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 18.2%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Westborough-based company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 19.3%.
Factors to Consider
BJ's Wholesale’s focus on simplifying assortments, boosting marketing and merchandising capabilities, expanding into high-demand categories and building an own-brand portfolio is commendable. The company remains committed to enhancing omnichannel capabilities and providing value for customers. These endeavors have been contributing to growth in membership signups and renewals.
The company has been directing resources toward expanding digital capabilities to better engage with members and provide them with a convenient way to shop. Also, the company’s acquisition of the perishable supply chain from Burris Logistics puts it in an advantageous position to expand fresh food offerings.
BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
BJ's Wholesale’s better pricing, private-label offerings, merchandise initiatives and digital solutions are likely to have favorably impacted the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. We expect total comparable club sales to increase 7.3%. Excluding gasoline sales, we expect comparable club sales to improve 4.3%.
However, margins remain an area to watch. Higher freight costs, investments in inflationary categories and markdowns in general merchandise inventory might have hurt merchandise margins. We estimate a year-over-year gross margin contraction of 70 basis points during the quarter under discussion.
