The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $79.2 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 8.5%.
Factors to Shape Up BSET’s Q1 Results
Bassett's top line is expected to have declined year over year in the fiscal first quarter due to the impact of a difficult sales environment for home furnishings, owing to the continued weakness in the U.S. housing market. Also, fluctuations in mortgage rates are likely to have added pressure to consumer spending and further slowed demand for home furnishings.
However, its focus on driving organic growth through Bassett-branded retail locations, along with new product offerings, e-commerce expansion and marketing improvements, is likely to have aided performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Furthermore, the company has made significant progress on its restructuring plan. The plan focuses on reducing costs, strengthening operations, and driving long-term revenue growth and profitability. As part of this strategy, Bassett has been reducing expenses and investing in new products and services to improve its bottom line.
