Installed Building (IBP) to Report Q1 Earnings: What to Expect?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Installed Building Products, Inc. (IBP - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2024 results on May 9 before the opening bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings and net revenues topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.5% and 4.6%, respectively.
The company’s earnings surpassed expectations in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, the average surprise being 7.4%.
The Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Installed Building’s first-quarter earnings per share (EPS) dwindled in the past 30 days to $2.23 from $2.28. The estimated figure reflects 3.7% growth from earnings of $2.15 per share in the year-ago quarter.
Installed Building Products, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
The consensus estimate for net revenues is pegged at $676.6 million, indicating a 2.6% increase from the prior-year quarter’s figure of $659.3 million.
Factors to Note
The top line of the company is expected to have increased year over year most likely on the back of solid growth in multi-family residential and commercial end markets as well as accretive buyouts. IBP prioritizes profitable growth through its proven strategy of acquiring well-run installers of insulation and complementary building products.
Also, its national scale, asset-light model and diverse end-product categories are added positives.
Although softer single-family sales are likely to have been concerning, the aforementioned tailwinds are expected to have more than offset the negative impacts.
Installed Building’s bottom line is expected to have benefited year over year due to its focus on an efficient capital allocation strategy. Also, emphasis on service value over volume is likely to have added to the uptrend.
