Read MoreHide Full Article
Post Holdings, Inc. (POST - Free Report) is scheduled to release first-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Feb 6. We note that the company’s bottom line has outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the trailing four quarters by 12.5%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.14 per share, indicating growth of 2.7% from the year-ago quarter. We note that the consensus mark has moved down 2 cents in the past 30 days. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $1,463 million, suggesting growth of 3.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Post Holdings has been actively pursuing acquisitions to expand the customer base. Some of the company’s notable buyouts include Latimer Newco 2 Limited, Bob Evans, National Pasteurized Eggs and MOM Brands Company. With such additions, the company has strengthened its position in the foodservice and refrigerated retail channels.
