The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.91 billion, indicating a 5.1% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The same for earnings is pegged at $1.50 per share, implying a 1.9% decline from the year-ago period.
Fiscal Q1 Performance
In the last reported quarter, the company’s top and bottom lines beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Both earnings and revenues improved year over year.
The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 16.7%.
Robust demand in North America for each of Commercial Metals’ major product lines is expected to benefit the company's fiscal second-quarter 2023 results. In the to-be-reported quarter, North America segment’s volumes are expected to have been driven by current and new reshoring projects, and rising levels of infrastructure spending.
High contract backlog volumes and average pricing are also expected to have boosted CMC’s performance. Commercial Metals has been implementing price rises across its mill products in response to rapidly rising scrap costs, which is likely to have sustained margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, economic uncertainty is expected to have an impact on Europe segment’s volumes. Higher energy costs, lower receipt of CO2 energy credit and the weakening of the Polish zloty in relation to the U.S. dollar are also expected to have impacted the Europe segment’s margin.
Steel volumes in North America are likely to have followed typical seasonal patterns in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with a modest decline from first-quarter levels. Higher scrap margins on steel products in both North America and Europe might impact the company’s results.
