Potbelly Earnings: What To Look For From PBPB

Casual sandwich chain Potbelly (NASDAQ:PBPB) will be reporting results tomorrow after the bell. Here’s what investors should know.

Potbelly met analysts’ revenue expectations last quarter, reporting revenues of $119.7 million, down 5.5% year on year. It was a very strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts’ EBITDA estimates and a solid beat of analysts’ earnings estimates.

This quarter, analysts are expecting Potbelly’s revenue to decline 6.3% year on year to $113.2 million, a reversal from the 2.7% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.04 per share.

The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Potbelly has missed Wall Street’s revenue estimates four times over the last two years.
