BRF S.A. (BRFS) Q2 Earnings in the Cards: Things to Consider
Read MoreHide Full Article
BRF S.A. (BRFS - Free Report) is likely to register bottom-line growth when it reports second-quarter 2024 earnings on Aug 14. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days at 7 cents per share. The figure indicates improvement from a loss of 10 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
The company’s top line is likely to decline year over year. The consensus mark for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2.6 billion, indicating a decline of 2.6% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. BRF, one of the largest food companies globally, delivered an earnings surprise of 50% in the last reported quarter.
Things To Consider
The company has been reaping the benefits of ongoing improvements from the BRF+ program, which emphasizes enhanced commercial execution, cost efficiency and operational performance. BRF’s commitment to value added and innovative products is supporting competitive pricing and bolstering market resilience. Feed costs are expected to remain stable in the near term, aiding in effective cost management and profitability. The continuation of these factors is likely to have driven the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Although the Brazilian consumer market is gradually recovering, factors like inflation and employment levels are impacting consumer spending and demand. The company also faces seasonal fluctuations, often seeing weaker performance in the first half of the year. The persistence of these factors is likely to have hurt the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
