MillerKnoll to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
MillerKnoll, Inc. MLKN is set to release its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Sept. 19, 2024, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26.4% and increased 63.4% year over year. Net sales missed the consensus mark by 1.1% and declined 7.1% year over year.
MillerKnoll’s earnings topped the consensus mark in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 29.6%.
MLKN’s Estimate Revision Trend
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings per share has remained unchanged at 42 cents over the past 60 days. The current estimate suggests 13.5% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported EPS value of 37 cents.
The consensus mark for net sales is $892 million, indicating a 2.8% year-over-year decrease.
Factors to Note For MLKN’s Q1
MillerKnoll’s net sales are expected to have declined year over year in the fiscal first quarter due to a notable decline in sales volume on the back of the soft North American housing market. These ongoing market challenges are particularly evident from the Americas Contract and Global Retail segments’ fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
For the fiscal first quarter, the company also expects net sales between $872 million and $912 million, reflecting a slight year-over-year decline of approximately 2.8% at the midpoint. In the year-ago quarter, the company’s net sales were $917.7 million.
Nonetheless, MillerKnoll has been navigating a challenging market backdrop with improvements in margins and operational efficiency, supported by product innovation and integration synergies from Knoll. The realization of price optimization strategies, improved freight, distribution and inventory management and benefits from its ongoing synergy efforts are likely to have driven margins. MLKN projects an adjusted gross margin within the 39-40% range for the quarter, up from 39% from the previous year.
Adjusted operating expenses are anticipated to be between $291 million and $301 million, down from $302.7 million reported a year ago. The company expects adjusted EPS in the range of 38-44 cents for the quarter, up from 37 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for MLKN’s Q1
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for MLKN this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
Zacks Rank: MillerKnoll currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
Peer Releases
Virco Manufacturing Corporation VIRC reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31, 2024) results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but sales missed the same.
Going forward, VIRC aims to seek potential acquisition opportunities to expand and strengthen its current business capabilities. Also, along with driving its prospects, Virco expects to add shareholder value through quarterly dividends and share repurchases.
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated BSET reported tepid second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended June 1, 2024) results, with earnings and net sales missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year over year.
BSET announced a restructuring plan to better align its cost structure for future growth. This strategy leverages Bassett’s brand quality, design expertise and service. The focus is on driving long-term revenue growth and profitability.
Culp, Inc. CULP reported mixed results in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended April 28, 2024). Its adjusted loss was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate while net sales marginally missed the same. On a year-over-year basis, net sales declined and the adjusted loss widened.
The quarterly results reflect softness in industry demand for CULP’s reportable businesses due to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and the timing of orders, due to many larger customers experiencing prolonged conditions beginning in January. Nonetheless, initiatives to lower manufacturing costs and execute operational excellence aided the bottom line to some extent. Culp intends to work on its restructuring plan as it believes this will enable it to grow more efficiently and profitably, with a lower level of fixed costs.

Wabtec's EPS Estimates Northbound: Time to Buy WAB Stock?
Shares of Pittsburgh, PA-based company Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, operating as Wabtec Corporation WAB, have been benefiting from its consistent shareholder-friendly initiatives, as well as strength across its Freight and Transit segments. Bullish full-year 2024 earnings guidance looks encouraging and raises optimism about the stock.
The positive sentiment surrounding WAB stock is evident from the fact that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the third quarter and full-year 2024 earnings has been revised upward in the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings per share indicates growth of 9.4% and 26% from the respective 2023 figures.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The company’s long-term (three-to-five years) earnings growth rate is 16.1%, higher than its industry’s 13.4%.
Let’s delve deeper.
Solid Financial Returns for Shareholders
Highlighting its pro-investor stance, Wabtec (on Feb. 14, 2024) announced a 17.6% dividend increase, thereby raising its quarterly cash dividend from 17 cents per share to 20 cents. This quarterly dividend of 20 cents (80 cents annualized) per share gives Wabtec a 0.47% yield at the current stock price. This company’s payout ratio is 11%, with a five-year dividend growth rate of 12.34%.
Dividend-paying stocks provide a solid income stream and have fewer chances of experiencing wild price swings. Dividend stocks, like WAB, are safe bets for creating wealth, as the payouts generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty like the current scenario.
Segmental Strength Boosts WAB’s Top Line
Wabtec’s top line has been benefiting from higher sales across its Freight and Transit segments. While the Freight segment benefits from growth in services and components, the transit segment gains from strong aftermarket and original equipment manufacturing sales.
WAB is expected to continue its strong performance due to strong underlying demand and a robust backlog.The ongoing summer season is expected to provide a further boost to revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for WAB’s third-quarter and fourth-quarter 2024 revenues is pegged at $2.64 billion and $2.61 billion, which indicates an improvement of 3.6% and 3.2% from 2023’s actuals, respectively.
Driven by this encouraging backdrop, management raised its current-year EPS guidance. Wabtec raised 2024 EPS guidance to the range of $7.20-$7.50 from $7.00-$7.40 guided previously. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.46 lies within the updated guided range.
Wabtec’s full-year revenue guidance remains unchanged in the $10.25 billion-$10.55 billion band. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.39 billion lies within the guided range.
WAB’s Price Performance Soars High
Wabtec has an impressive earnings surprise history. The company’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters (missed the mark in the remaining quarter), delivering an average surprise of 11.83%. Driven by this upbeat earnings performance and the positives mentioned above, WAB shares have gained 37.2% so far this year, outperforming its industry as well as the S&P 500, of which the company is a key member.
Additionally, WAB’s price performance so far this year compares favorably with that of other industry players like Ryder Corporation R and Air Lease Corporation AL.
YTD Price Performance
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Some Other Tailwinds Working in Favor of WAB Stock
We are impressed with WAB’s healthy balance sheet. The company’s cash and equivalents increased to $595 million at the end of second-quarter 2024 from $371 million at the end of second-quarter 2023. Meanwhile, the long-term debt level has decreased to $3.5 billion at the end of second-quarter 2024 from $3.4 billion in the second quarter of 2023.
Long-Term Debt to Capitalization
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Wrapping Up
Given the positives surrounding the WAB stock, as highlighted throughout the write-up, we believe that investors should add WAB stock to their portfolio for healthy returns. The Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) carried by the stock supports our thesis.

Wind Turbine Market to Reach $115.2 Billion, Globally, by 2033 at 6.2% CAGR: Allied Market Research
Wilmington, Delaware , Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allied Market Research published a report, titled, “Wind Turbine Market by Axis Type (Horizontal and Vertical), Installation (Onshore and Offshore), Component (Rotator Blade, Gearbox, Generator, Nacelle and Others), and Application (Industrial, Commercial, Residential and Utility): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033″. According to the report, the wind turbine market was valued at $63.4 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $115.2 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2033.
Download PDF Brochure: https://www.alliedmarketresearch.com/request-sample/A00104
Prime determinants of growth
The global wind turbine market is experiencing growth due to increase in adoption of wind energy as a clean, renewable source. However, the initial capital required for wind turbine installation is expected to limit the growth of the wind turbine market during the forecast period. Moreover, innovations in blade design, materials, and aerodynamics offer remunerative opportunities for the global wind turbine market.

Restraints | Variability and dependency of wind turbine on weather conditions |
The vertical segment is expected to remain the largest type throughout the forecast period
Vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have garnered attention for their unique design and potential advantages in certain applications. Unlike traditional horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs), which have blades that rotate around a horizontal axis, VAWTs have blades that rotate around a vertical axis. VAWTs are also being explored for off-grid and hybrid energy systems. In remote locations where access to electricity is limited or unreliable, VAWTs can provide a sustainable source of power to meet basic energy needs. They can also be integrated with other renewable energy sources, such as solar panels or batteries, to create hybrid systems that improve overall reliability and efficiency.

The onshore segment is expected to lead throughout the forecast period
Onshore wind turbines are a vital component of renewable energy infrastructure, contributing significantly to global efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and combat climate change. These turbines harness the power of wind to generate electricity, making use of vast expanses of land rather than offshore locations. Furthermore, onshore wind turbines often benefit from established infrastructure, such as roads and electrical grids, which can streamline the development process and reduce associated costs. Their proximity to populated areas can also minimize transmission losses, ensuring efficient delivery of electricity to consumers.
The rotator blade segment dominated the wind turbine market throughout the forecast period
The primary function of the rotator blade in wind turbine is to harness the kinetic energy present in the wind and transfer it into rotational motion. As the wind blows, it exerts force on the turbine blades, causing them to rotate around the shaft. This rotational motion is then transmitted through the shaft to the generator, where it is converted into electrical energy. Proper maintenance and monitoring of the rotator are critical to ensuring the continued performance and longevity of the wind turbine. This includes regular inspections to detect any signs of wear or damage, as well as lubrication of moving parts to reduce friction and prevent premature failure.
The utility segment is expected to lead throughout the forecast period.
One of the primary advantages of wind turbines in utility applications is their ability to produce electricity at scale without emitting greenhouse gases or other pollutants associated with conventional power plants. This makes them a crucial tool in combating climate change and reducing reliance on finite fossil fuel resources. Additionally, wind energy is abundant and inexhaustible, providing a reliable source of power that can help stabilize energy markets and enhance energy security.

Asia-Pacific to maintain its dominance by 2033
The Asia-Pacific region has been rapidly adopting wind energy as a significant component of its renewable energy. China leads the Asia-Pacific region in wind turbine usage, boasting the largest installed capacity in the world. The country’s aggressive investment in wind energy has been driven by both environmental concerns and a desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. China’s vast land area, particularly in regions such as Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, provides ample space for large-scale wind farms, contributing significantly to its renewable energy goals.
India is another key player in the Asia-Pacific wind energy market. The country has made significant strides in recent years to harness its wind resources, particularly along its western coast and in states such as Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. India’s ambitious renewable energy targets, coupled with favorable government policies and incentives, have spurred growth in the wind energy sector, attracting both domestic and international investment.

Cracker Barrel to Report Q4 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL is scheduled to report fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Sept. 19. In the last reported quarter, CBRL registered an earnings surprise of 57.1%.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share is pegged at $1.17, which indicates a deterioration of 34.6% from $1.79 reported in the year-ago quarter.
For revenues, the consensus mark is pegged at $898.8 million, which implies an increase of 7.4% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Let’s check out the factors that might have influenced CBRL’s performance in the quarter to be reported.
Factors at Play for CBRL
Cracker Barrel’s fiscal fourth-quarter top line is likely to have been aided by menu innovation, higher menu pricing, expansion and other sales-building efforts. Given the growing demand for its breakfast category, including Homestyle Chicken, French Toast, Barrel Bites and beverages, Cracker Barrel introduced its $5 take-home meals at the beginning of fiscal 2024, which is expected to have aided the company’s top line.
The company is also benefiting from growth in off-premise sales. It continues to focus on off-premise initiatives, such as curbside delivery, third-party delivery and family meal baskets. These efforts are likely to have aided the off-premise sales.
Our model predicts Restaurant and Retail revenues to be $715.9 million and $168.2 million, respectively, up 7.9% and 6.9% year over year. However, dismal traffic and same-store sales are expected to have negatively impacted the company’s results. Our model predicts retail same-store sales to decline 0.5% year over year. CBRL’s retail business faces challenges stemming from broader industry pressures, particularly in discretionary categories.
Strategic investments in advertising and labor are likely to have increased costs and exerted margin pressure in the to-be-reported quarter. For fourth-quarter fiscal 2024, our model predicts labor and other related expenses to rise 9% year over year to $332.6 million. We expect store-operating expenses to increase 8.4% year over year to $821.6 million. Our model predicts adjusted-operating income to decline 30.7% year over year to $27.6 million.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Cracker Barrel this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is exactly the case here.
Earnings ESP: Cracker Barrel currently has an Earnings ESP of +2.74%.
Zacks Rank: The company has a Zacks Rank #2 at present.
Other Stocks Poised to Beat on Earnings
Here are some other stocks worth considering from the Zacks Retail-Wholesale sector, as our model shows that these, too, have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings this reporting cycle.
Domino’s Pizza, Inc. DPZ currently has an Earnings ESP of +3.94% and a Zacks Rank #3. Shares of Domino’s have risen 6.4% in the past year. DPZ’s earnings beat the consensus mark in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 11.2%.
Papa John’s International, Inc. PZZA has an Earnings ESP of +2.11% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. Shares of Papa John’s have lost 32.9% in the past year. PZZA’s earnings beat the consensus mark in three of the trailing four quarters and missed on one occasion, delivering an average surprise of 13.6%.
Starbucks Corporation SBUX currently has an Earnings ESP of +2.61% and a Zacks Rank #3. Shares of Starbucks have lost 0.5% in the past year. SBUX’s earnings beat the consensus mark in two of the trailing four quarters and missed twice, delivering an average surprise of 1.7%.

The authenticity and challenge stumps bonsai pose to cultivators make them highly valued in the bonsai market.
