MINDBODY, Inc. MB is slated to release fourth-quarter 2017 results on Feb 21. Last quarter, the company witnessed a positive earnings surprise of 125%. MINDBODY beat earnings estimates in all the trailing four quarters, delivering a positive surprise of 68.2%.
What to Expect?
The company might witness a year-over-year increase in revenues and earnings in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 1 cent per share, which is much better than the year-ago period loss of 4 cents. Further, analysts polled by Zacks expect revenues of $48.9 million, up 28.1% from the year-ago quarter.
Factors to Impact Q4 Results
MINDBODY develops cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry.
The company’s inorganic growth strategies are major tailwinds boosting subscriber and consumer adoption. Additionally, the company’s continuous efforts to enhance its software and payments platform are likely to be reflected in its quarterly results.
With its huge client base, MINDBODY is anticipated to post impressive earnings numbers in the fourth quarter. Investments for improving the growth segments are expected to boost margins as well.
