Suzano (SUZ) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Suzano (SUZ - Free Report) is likely to report a year-over-year improvement in earnings when it reports second-quarter 2023 results next week.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SUZ’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at 98 cents per share. This indicates a solid year-over-year improvement from earnings of 3 cents per share in the year-ago quarter. Earnings estimates have been unchanged in the past seven days.
Q1 Performance
In the last reported quarter, Suzano witnessed year-over-year improvements in revenues while earnings declined. SUZ’s earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the quarter. The company has an average surprise of 54.8% in the trailing four quarters.
In the Pulp segment, the company has been witnessing solid demand for sanitary paper. However, a slowdown has been noticed in printing and writing demand as well as specialties paper due to their ample stock with distributors, converters and printers who are beginning to destock. This is likely to have reflected in the segment’s volumes in the second quarter.
However, the increase in input costs as well as higher energy and wood costs have eased somewhat from the year-ago levels. The segment’s margins are expected to reflect this impact.
In the Paper segment, sales in the traditional Printing & Writing paper segment in Brazil are expected to have been solid through the quarter, driven by the publishing and educational materials markets, as well as school and office supplies. In the international markets, the normalization of supplies and logistics chain resulted in the rebuilding of inventories in 2022.
With the economic downturn in markets as North America and Eastern Europe in early 2023, high levels of inventory were observed across the chain. This has led to decline in demand in the Printing & Writing segment, which is expected to impact the segment’s volumes in the quarter under review. However, favorable price is likely to have negated some of the impact on the segment’s results.
The normalization of the logistical situation has brought freight prices closer to historic levels, in addition to reducing congestion. Supply imbalances have been reported to be dissipating and markets are returning to historical trends. This is likely to have favored the segment’s margins.
