What happened
1-800-FLOWERS, an e-commerce florist and gift retailer, is scheduled to report results Thursday morning. Analysts expect revenue to fall 8.7% year on year this quarter, an improvement from the 11.1% decline in the same quarter last year. Estimates were generally unchanged over the last 30 days.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
Revenue results will show whether the expected slowdown is easing, which can shape investors’ view of demand for flowers and gifts and the company’s ability to generate sales. The prior quarter met revenue expectations but missed analysts’ earnings-per-share estimates, a measure of profit allocated to each share.
Analyst inference
The article says 1-800-FLOWERS has missed revenue estimates multiple times in the past two years, while recent analyst estimates were generally reconfirmed. Two cited peers reported revenue growth, but their results do not establish how the florist’s own sales or profit will develop.
Analyst inference
What to watch
- Compare reported revenue with the expected 8.7% year-on-year decline; a smaller drop would indicate sales held up better than analysts anticipated this quarter. Analyst inference
- Check the company’s earnings-per-share result, which means profit allocated to each share, because it missed analysts’ estimates in the previous quarter. Confirmed
- Look for updated full-year EBITDA guidance, an estimate of operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, after the prior guidance missed analysts’ expectations. Analyst inference
