Earnings Calendar Highlights

Monday (3/20)

Tuesday (3/21)

Earnings Spotlight: Nike 

Nike (NKE (opens in new tab), $120.65) will report its fiscal third-quarter earnings after Tuesday's close. The blue chip stock fared well in the three months ended Feb. 28, adding 8.3% vs a 2.7% decline for the broader S&P 500.

Analysts expect the athletic footwear and apparel company to have grown its top line modestly over that same time frame, though its bottom line likely declined on a year-over-year (YoY) basis. Consensus estimates are for Nike to report fiscal Q3 revenue of $11.5 billion (+5.4% YoY) and earnings of 55 cents per share (-36.8% YoY). 

Jefferies analyst Randal Konik (Buy) anticipates a "healthy" quarter from Nike after channel checks showed strong interest in sneakers during the holiday season. Additionally, "updated data suggests China is getting better and Adidas' (ADDYY) recent weakness could provide NKE with additional share gains," Konik says. 

Wednesday (3/22)

Earnings Spotlight: Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings 

Ollie's Bargain Outlet Holdings (OLLI (opens in new tab), $52.23) has put in a solid performance on the price charts over the last 12 months, with the consumer staples stock adding nearly 29%. The S&P 500, meanwhile, is down about 7% over that same period.

The same can't be said about the discount retailer's financial results, though, says Truist Securities analyst Scot Ciccarelli (Hold). Ollie's "results have been disappointing through most of 2022 as sales have not accelerated as much as many investors expected, despite what should be a very robust sourcing environment," the analyst writes in a note to clients. Elevated supply chain costs have also had an impact on earnings, Ciccarelli adds.

The analyst forecasts earnings per share (EPS) of 77 cents in OLLI's fourth-quarter report, which will be released ahead of the March 22 open. This is below the consensus estimate of 79 cents per share (-14.5% YoY). Revenue, meanwhile, is forecast to arrive at $542.2 million (+8.2% YoY).

Thursday (3/23)

Earnings Spotlight: Darden Restaurants 

Analysts are upbeat toward Darden Restaurants (DRI (opens in new tab), $150.36) ahead of the Olive Garden parent's fiscal third-quarter earnings report, due out ahead of Thursday's open. Of the 31 analysts following the consumer discretionary stock tracked by S&P Global Market Intelligence, 14 say it's a Strong Buy, six call it a Buy, 10 have it at Hold and one says Sell. This works out to a consensus recommendation of Buy. 

Argus Research analyst John Staszak is among those with a Buy rating on DRI stock. "The company's fiscal Q2 2023 earnings topped expectations and management expects earnings growth for the full year," Staszak says. "Its current fiscal 2023 guidance calls for revenue of $10.3-$10.45 billion and EPS of $7.60-$8.00. We expect Darden to exceed this guidance as it continues to benefit from efforts to expand takeout and delivery orders and simplify its menu. We also expect Darden to continue its record of positive earnings surprises." 

Analysts, on average, expect DRI to report fiscal Q3 earnings of $2.23 per share (+16.8% YoY) on revenue of $2.7 billion (11.6% YoY).
