Commercial Metals Company
CMC
is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2021 (ended as of May 31, 2021) results on Jun 17, before the opening bell.
Which Way are the Estimates Headed?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pinned at $1,677 million, suggesting growth of 25% from the prior-year period. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share is pegged at 77 cents for the quarter, indicating a year-over-year increase of 30.5%.
Q2 Performance
In the last reported quarter, the company’s top- and bottom-line figures increased year on year. While the bottom line beat the consensus mark, the top line figure missed the same. The company has a trailing four quarters average earnings surprise of 38.08%.
Key Factors
Commercial Metals is likely to have benefited from solid construction and infrastructure activity during the fiscal third quarter. The North America segment might have benefited from increased spending on the residential and construction sector, continued recovery in the manufacturing sector and strong highway infrastructure activities, fueling robust demand for rebar and long product steel.
The finished steel volumes for North America and Europe operations are expected to have witnessed strong seasonal trends in the fiscal third quarter due to the commencement of the spring and summer construction seasons. Surging demand for merchant and wire rod products in the Central European markets, and recovery in the industrial end markets in the region are likely to have supported the Europe segment during the fiscal third quarter.
Moreover, Commercial Metals’ margin is anticipated to have benefited from its focus on network optimization as well as price rise across the company’s mill products in response to the rapidly-rising scrap costs.
