Here's How SpartanNash (SPTN) is Poised Ahead of Q1 Earnings

SpartanNash Company SPTN is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter 2023 earnings on Jun 1, before the opening bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pegged at $2,962 million, indicating a rise of about 7.1% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus estimate for first-quarter earnings of 61 cents per share suggests a decrease of 26.5% from the year-ago period’s actual. The consensus mark has been stable over the past 30 days.

A glance at this grocery retailer’s performance over the trailing four quarters shows that it has an earnings surprise of 9.6%, on average.

Factors to Note

SpartanNash first-quarter results are likely to have benefited from the solid execution of its Winning Recipe plan, which focuses on transforming the supply chain to boost overall growth. Also, its merchandising transformation initiatives have been yielding results. The company has been focused on streamlining its operations and making strategic investments, including the expansion of capabilities across the distribution centers.

In addition, SPTN remains committed to boosting its solutions across both the digital and physical platforms and the expansion of its grocery services. All these tailwinds are likely to have aided results during the quarter under review.

On the flip side, a tough operating landscape including inflationary pressures is likely to have been a concern. Any deleverage in the operating expenses is expected to have reflected in SpartanNash’s bottom-line performance in the upcoming quarterly release. The company has been witnessing higher operating costs for a while now.
