Read MoreHide Full Article

Perrigo Company plc (PRGO - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 earnings on Nov. 6, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company posted an earnings surprise of 10.42%.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pegged at around $1.12 billion, while that for earnings is pinned at 82 cents per share.

Factors Shaping PRGO’s Upcoming Results

Perrigo reports its results under two segments — Consumer Self Care Americas (CSCA) and Consumer Self Care International (CSCI).

We suppose third-quarter sales in both segments to have suffered a decline. Sales in CSCA and CSCI are likely to have been affected by lower net product sales in the United States and unfavorable currency movements, respectively.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate for CSCA sales are pegged at $693 million and $698 million, respectively. The Zacks Consensus Estimate and our model estimate for sales in the CSCI segment are pegged at $423 million and $417 million, respectively.

PRGO reported higher net price realization for its products through strategic price increases in recent quarters. The improving price trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

We expect management to provide an update on the expected impact of macroeconomic pressures in the upcoming quarters.
