Bed Bath and Beyond Inc (BBBY) reports its Q4 earnings today before the open. Investors and retail traders will be tuning in to see what GameStop supremo Ryan Cohen can do with the company he recently invested in. BBBY stock spiked over 30% in early March when news broke that Ryan Cohen had taken a 9.8% stake in BBBY stock. This saw a frenzy of activity with BBBY stock opening March 7 at $30 before falling off to close at $21.71. That was a gain of 34% though even with the fall from earlier intraday highs. Since then BBBY has given back nearly all those gains and closed Tuesday at $17.97.
Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) stock news: What to expect from BBBY earnings?
Q4 earnings per share are expected to reach a modest $0.04 versus -$0.25 for the prior quarter. Revenue is slated to come in at $2.08 billion for the fourth quarter, versus $1.878 for Q3. BBBY stock has produced very volatile results over the last number of years with multiple misses on the top and bottom lines. As ever forward guidance nearly carries more importance than the historical earnings and this is especially relevant in the current inflationary environment with multiple headwinds from supply chain issues. So investors will look for certainty.
BBBY stock forecast
Generally, a breakout needs to consolidate in order to continue the trend in the direction of the initial breakout. BBBY has failed to do that and $18 is the breakout level. So this really needs to hold. Break and BBBY will target a move to $15 and below where there is strong volume-based support. Given this has a large retail base, volatility is virtually guaranteed after the earnings release. This means buying options is currently expensive.
