雅虎香港財經 Factors Likely to Influence Skechers' (SKX) Q1 Earnings
Skechers U.S.A., Inc. SKX is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter 2024 earnings results on Apr 25 after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $2,188 million, which indicates an improvement of 9.3% from the prior-year reported figure.
The company, renowned for its design, marketing and distribution of footwear, apparel and accessories, is expected to observe a year-over-year increase in its bottom line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings per share has been stable at $1.10 in the past 30 days, which suggests an improvement of 7.8% from the year-ago period.
Skechers has maintained a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 45.7%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Goleta, CA-based company’s bottom line outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 7.7%.
Key Factors to Note
Skechers' focused strategy on growing its direct-to-consumer business and providing innovative, superior-quality products emerges as a key factor in driving revenues. The brand's commitment to expanding its retail footprint, enhancing omnichannel capabilities and reinforcing distribution strengths plays a crucial role in solidifying its market stance and securing continuous growth.
We anticipate direct-to-consumer revenues to increase 18.7% in the first quarter. This growth is fueled by expected improvements of 15.7% and 20.8% in the domestic and international direct-to-consumer businesses, respectively.
Skechers did face significant challenges in its wholesale segment. However, the tides are now turning in favor of the company, thanks to positive order trends for the first half of the year. We foresee sales from the wholesale channel to increase 4.5% in the quarter.
SKX's international business has been a major contributor to its sales. Skechers' success in international markets reflects its ability to adapt to diverse consumer preferences, capitalize on emerging trends and leverage effective distribution strategies tailored to each region's unique dynamics. As Skechers continues to expand its global presence and strengthen its brand recognition, the international segment remains a key pillar of the company's growth strategy.
