Yahoo Finance MarineMax (HZO) Queued Up for Q1 Earnings: Factors to Note
MarineMax, Inc. HZO is likely to register an increase in the top line when it reports first-quarter fiscal 2023 numbers. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $510.6 million, indicating an improvement of 8% from the prior-year reported figure.
The bottom line of this world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer is expected to decline year over year.

This Clearwater, FL-based company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 37%, on average. In the last reported quarter, the company’s bottom line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a margin of 62.4%.
Factors to Consider
MarineMax’s significant geographic reach, product diversification and decent demand are likely to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. We note that the company has been mainly benefiting as consumers embrace and enjoy the boating lifestyle. The company’s digitization endeavors have been helping it better engage with customers.
The company’s investments in high-margin businesses, such as finance, insurance, brokerage, marina and service operations, bode well. Impressively, its strategic acquisitions have been playing a major role in driving the top line.
While the aforementioned factors raise optimism, we cannot ignore ongoing supply-chain issues and any deleverage in SG&A expenses. Margins remain an area to watch.
