MarineMax (HZO) to Post Q1 Earnings: Key Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
MarineMax, Inc. (HZO - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2024 numbers on Jan 25, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $520.2 million, indicating a rise of 2.4% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer is expected to have declined year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 56 cents per share, indicating a decline of 54.8% from the prior-year reported figure.
This FL-based company has a negative trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 10.1%, on average.
MarineMax’s investments in high-margin businesses, such as finance, insurance, brokerage, marina and service operations, bode well. Impressively, strategic acquisitions like that of IGY Marinas and Atalanta Golden Yachts, as well as organic initiatives, have helped expand its footprint across high-growth areas. The company has been committed to enhancing its boating and yachting experiences, aiming to reach an expanding global customer base.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues for Retail Operations is pegged at $502 million, indicating a rise from the $479.7 million reported in the year-ago period. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues for Product Manufacturing of $58 million suggests an increase from the $56 million posted in the prior-year quarter.
MarineMax faces challenges that could affect its performance. Any increase in SG&A expenses, along with rising interest costs and a moderation in product margins, could have hurt the company’s profitability. Economic uncertainty and industry challenges, such as rising inventory levels and retail margin erosion, are prominent concerns for MarineMax.
