·4 min read

Q4 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.31. In the year-ago quarter, the company reported earnings of $1.84 per share. Of late, Malibu Boats’ earnings estimates have remained stable.

For quarterly revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at nearly $330.8 million, implying a 19.6% improvement from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

Let’s see how things are shaping up prior to the announcement of fourth-quarter fiscal 2022 results.

Factors at Play

Malibu Boats’ top line in the quarter to be reported is likely to be driven by robust performance of the Malibu, Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt segments. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from the Malibu, Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt segments are likely to move 21.2%, 14.7% and 20.8% north to $166 million, $100 million and $64 million, respectively. The company’s results in the quarter are likely to have been aided by strong consumer demand for larger, feature-rich boats.

However, high costs are likely to have hurt margin in the quarter. In third-quarter 2022, cost of sales increased 22.9% year over year. Higher per unit material and labor costs might have resulted in an overall increase in expenses.

What Does the Zacks Model Unveil?

Our proven model does not show that Malibu Boats is likely to beat on earnings in fourth-quarter fiscal 2022. 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. Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell) stocks are best avoided, especially if they have a negative Earnings ESP.

Malibu Boats has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
