Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (GO Quick QuoteGO - Free Report) is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports second-quarter 2022 earnings on Aug 9, after the market closes. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues stands at $859.6 million, indicating an increase of 10.8% from the prior-year reported figure. The bottom line of this extreme value retailer of quality, name-brand consumables and fresh product is expected to increase year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings per share has been stable at 24 cents over the past 30 days. The figure suggests an increase of 4.4% from the year-ago period. Grocery Outlet has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 4.8%, on average. In the last reported quarter, this Emeryville, CA-based company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 10%.
Grocery Outlet’s flexible sourcing and distribution business model, which helps it in offering products at exceptional values as well as excellent service from independent operators, are among key factors driving revenues. The company’s opportunistic purchasing strategy, marketing efforts, store-growth endeavors and e-commerce initiatives to deepen customer reach also appear encouraging. Cumulatively, these are likely to have favorably impacted the to-be-reported quarter's top-line performance. The company has been offering same-day delivery of everyday essentials and staples from nearly all its stores in collaboration with Instacart. We believe that Grocery Outlet’s compelling value proposition continues to attract bargain-hunters, encourage customers to revisit stores, and increase basket sizes. On its last earnings call, management guided second-quarter 2022 net sales to be approximately $855 million compared with $775.5 million reported in the year-ago period. It projected comparable store sales growth of 6% against a decline of 10% witnessed in the prior-year quarter. Despite these tailwinds, high labor costs, increased freight expenses, and supply chain issues remain concerns. These might have weighed on the company's margins. Management expected modest deleverage in SG&A expenses in the second quarter. Management had guided second-quarter gross margin of approximately 30.6% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of about 6.3%. This shows marginal contraction from gross margin of 30.7% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.6% in the year-ago period.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.41% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through July 4, 2022. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
