Floor And Decor (FND) Reports Q4: Everything You Need To Know Ahead Of Earnings

Specialty flooring retailer Floor & Decor (NYSE:FND) will be reporting results this Thursday after market close. Here’s what you need to know.

Floor And Decor met analysts’ revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $1.18 billion, up 5.5% year on year. It was a satisfactory quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts’ gross margin estimates but full-year revenue guidance meeting analysts’ expectations.

This quarter, analysts are expecting Floor And Decor’s revenue to grow 2.4% year on year to $1.13 billion, slowing from the 5.7% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.34 per share.

Analysts covering the company have generally reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Floor And Decor has missed Wall Street’s revenue estimates four times over the last two years.

With Floor And Decor being the first among its peers to report earnings this season, we don’t have anywhere else to look to get a hint at how this quarter will unravel for home furnishing and improvement retail stocks. However, investors in the segment have had steady hands going into earnings, with share prices flat over the last month. Floor And Decor is down 4.4% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $76.95 (compared to the current share price of $69.09).

When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we’ve found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.
