Hudson (HUD) Earnings to Gain in Q4 Despite Cost Concerns
Read MoreHide Full Article
Hudson Ltd. is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2018 earnings on Mar 14, 2019, before the market opens. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 36.7%. Notably, its earnings surpassed the consensus estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average being 63.6%.
Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at 15 cents, higher than 13 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. In the past 30 days, earnings estimates have witnessed a downward revision of 6.3%. In third-quarter 2018, it witnessed earnings growth of 127.8% on a year-over-year basis. Let’s delve deeper to find out how the company’s top and bottom lines will shape up this earnings season.
Factors at Play
Hudson results in fourth-quarter 2018 are likely to be driven by robust turnover, which includes net sales and advertising income. In the last reported quarter, turnover increased 6% year over year to $526.6 million. Further, store openings are likely to drive the company’s results. It expended the footprint at Philadelphia International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and in Nashville as well as Atlanta.
However, rise in costs remains a concern. In third-quarter 2018, selling expenses increased 7.2% to $121.7 million, whereas personnel expenses increased10.1% to $105.4 million.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict that Hudson is likely to beat earnings estimates in the fourth quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both — a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) — for this to happen.
Currently, Hudson has an Earnings ESP of -13.33% and a Zacks Rank #3, which make the surprise prediction difficult. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
