Yahoo Finance What's in Store for Commercial Metals (CMC) in Q3 Earnings?
Commercial Metals Company CMC is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Jun 20, before the opening bell.
Q1 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.01 billion, indicating a 14.5% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure. The same for earnings is pegged at $1.00 per share, implying a 50.5% decline from the year-ago period’s actual.
Q2 Performance
In the last reported quarter, the company’s top and bottom lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Earnings and revenues declined year over year. The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 10.3%.
Key Factors to Consider
The demand for Commercial Metals’ finished steel products in North America has been strong. Downstream bid volumes, which are significant indicators of the construction project pipeline, have been improving and are expected to have led to higher backlog levels. Demand from the industrial end markets is likely to have been stable.
Volumes in Europe are expected to have been impacted by the weak market conditions. In response to market imbalances, the Polish long steel industry has significantly reduced production and inventory levels. This is expected to have dented the company’s margin in the quarter under review.
Our model expects the North America Steel Group segment to generate $1.6 billion in revenues in the fiscal third quarter, indicating a year-over-year dip of 12.1%. The estimate for the segment’s adjusted EBITDA is pegged at $224 million.
The estimate for Europe Steel Group segment’s revenues is pegged at $239 million, indicating a 27.8% year-over-year decline . Our model expects the segment’s adjusted EBITDA to be a negative $0.1 million.
Our model expects the Emerging Businesses Group segment to generate $162 million in revenues in the fiscal third quarter, indicating a year-over-year dip of 14.3%. The estimate for the segment’s adjusted EBITDA is pegged at $29.7 million.
