可口可樂電商收入能否帶來驚喜?
可口可樂公司(KO.US)將於10月27日美股盤前公佈2021年第三季度業績,預計該公司的營收和利潤將實現增長。Zacks Consensus對該公司第三季度收益預期爲每股58美分,同比增長5.5%。在過去的30天裏,共識預期沒有改變。對於第三季度的營收,市場普遍認爲是96億美元,同比增長10.9%。
值得一提的是,在上個季度的財報中,這家領先的軟飲料巨頭的收益出乎意料地達到了19.3%。在過去的四個季度裏,其平均利潤超過了Zacks共識預期的16.5%。
增長要點
可口可樂最近幾個季度的業績受益於價格組合策略的改善和集中銷售的增長,預計這種增長將在第三季度繼續。由於消費者流動性的增加和部分地區經濟的重新開放,使得場外渠道銷售的增加。此外,可口可樂商標、碳酸飲料、營養飲料、果汁、乳製品和植物類飲料的銷量增長預計將在該公司第三季度的業績中得到體現。
同時,該公司第三季度業績預計將反映出可口可樂爲擴大數字業務而加速投資的收益。受疫情爆發期間消費者行爲轉變的推動,可口可樂在許多國家的電商渠道增長速度翻了一番。該公司一直在加強與消費者的聯繫,並通過實踐方法進一步試驗各種數字化舉措,以捕捉在線需求,這可能提振了第三季度的銷售。
整個公司積極的成本節約措施預計也有助於撐起第三季度的營業利潤率,預計這將有利於利潤。
風險因素
然而,該公司一直面臨供應鏈成本上升的壓力,包括運輸和大宗商品成本上漲。在上一季度的財報電話會議上,該公司表示將通過對衝來管理投入成本的增加,但這些壓力對第三季度的影響仍不確定,預計持續的供應鏈逆風將在一定程度上損害該公司的利潤。
此外,市場營銷支出的增加,以及短期激勵和基於股票的薪酬的增加,預計也將導致第三季度銷售、一般和管理支出的增加。
分析師觀點
瑞銀分析師Sean King表示,該行給予可口可樂“買入”評級,且在週三公佈財報前對該公司充滿信心。
此外,鑑於可口可樂的交易價格低於百事可樂(PEP.US),且其股價仍較前一年高點低10%,該行預計可口可樂每股收益(EPS)將在2022年實現7-9%的增長,這足以推動股價走高。據悉,在過去12個季度中,可口可樂有9個季度的營收超過預期,11個季度的利潤超過預期。
