Perrigo (PRGO) to Report Q1 Earnings: Here's What to Expect
Read MoreHide Full Article
Perrigo Company plc (PRGO - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2024 results on May 7, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings surprise of 3.61%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Factors at Play
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Perrigo’s total revenues is pegged at around $1.1 billion, while the same for earnings stands at 24 cents per share. Both metrics indicate a decline from the year-ago quarter’s levels.
Perrigo reports its results under the following segments — Consumer Self Care Americas (CSCA) and Consumer Self Care International (CSCI). While we expect first-quarter sales in the CSCA segment to have suffered a decline due to lower net product sales in the United States, performance in the CSCI segment is expected to have been aided by products added through its HRA Pharma acquisition, partially offset by unfavorable currency movements.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate for CSCA sales stand at $654 million and $656 million, respectively. For sales in the CSCI segment, both the Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate are pegged at $439 million.
Perrigo reported higher net price realization for its products through strategic price increases in recent quarters. The improving price trend will likely be reflected in first-quarter sales, contributing to the top line.
Investors are likely to be curious about potential product launches this year. We also expect management to provide an update on the expectedimpact of macroeconomic pressures in 2024.
Earnings Surprise History
Perrigo’s shares have gained 2.00% year to date compared with the industry’s 2.4% rise.
