Yahoo Finance Smith & Wesson (SWBI) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. SWBI is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 17. In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 36.6%.
Q4 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.07. In the year-ago quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings of 57 cents per share. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $273.5 million, suggesting growth of 17.1% from the prior-year quarter.
Factors to Note
The company’s performance in the quarter is likely to have benefited from sporting goods shipment and increase in handguns revenues. Robust demand for both long guns and handguns is likely to have aided the performance. In third-quarter fiscal 2021, shipments for long guns and hand guns increased 102% and 61%, respectively. Moreover, increased unit shipments and elimination of promotional activity are likely to have contributed to the margin. The company’s manufacturing and logistics teams, which produced as well as shipped more than 623,000 in third-quarter fiscal 2021, were up 250,000 units from the prior-year period. This trend, is likely to have continued in the quarter under review owing to high demand.
