Victoria's Secret (VSCO) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Victoria's Secret & Co. (VSCO - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 28. In the last reported quarter, VSCO’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.1%.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share is pegged at 38 cents, indicating a gain of 58.3% from the year-ago reported figure. In the past 30 days, estimate revisions have witnessed upward movements of 123.5%. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $1.41 billion, implying a 1.4% decrease year over year.
Factors to Note
VSCO’s second-quarter results are likely to have been aided by sequential growth in North America’s sales for the fourth straight quarter, reflecting positive momentum in both physical stores and digital channels. The introduction of new products, including the Victoria’s Secret Dream bra collection and the PINK Friday back-to-campus event in July are likely to have aided the performance.
Recently, the company reported preliminary second-quarter 2024 results, wherein it said that the company’s disciplined approach to inventory management contributed to strong margin performance. By focusing on the right product mix and keeping inventory in check, VSCO was able to improve profitability. The combination of these efforts led to year-over-year growth in quarterly operating income for the first time since 2021, underscoring the effectiveness of its strategy to enhance both sales and cost efficiency.
The preliminary results indicate a net sales decrease in the range of 1% to 2%, compared with the prior guidance of a decline in the range of 1% to 3%. Adjusted operating income is expected to be in the range of $57-$62 million, up from the prior guidance of $30-$45 million.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Victoria's Secret this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: VSCO has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
