Factors to Note Ahead of KRUS Q1 Earnings Release
The company’s top line is likely to have been aided by expansion efforts. Recent openings in the Pacific Northwest, including Beaverton, OR and Tacoma, WA, outperformed expectations, showcasing untapped market potential in the region.
KRUS has been focusing on higher-quality IP partnerships with broader appeal, supplemented by cost-efficient advertising campaigns that highlight product quality and authenticity, further strengthening brand equity. Robust digital and delivery initiatives are likely to have aided the top line. Expansion of delivery options, including DoorDash, is likely to have aided the off-premise sales.
However, the company’s bottom line is likely to have been hurt by high labor as well as occupancy and operating costs. Increased training costs due to new store openings, as well as general wage increases, are expected to have hurt the bottom line in the quarter to be reported.
Our proven model doesn't predict an earnings beat for Kura Sushi 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.
Kura Sushi has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #1. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they are reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
