WK Kellogg is set to report third-quarter results before the market opens on Thursday. Here's what you need to know.
PROFIT: WK Kellogg's per-share profit is expected to fall to 23 cents a share from 49 cents a year earlier, according to FactSet analysts.
REVENUE: The cereal maker is expected to report revenue of $674 million, according to the consensus of five analysts polled by FactSet. That would be a slight decline from the $684 million the company reported in the year-ago period.
Shares of the company fell about 6.7% during the quarter and recently traded around $17.
WHAT TO WATCH
-- WK Kellogg has been working to expand margins by modernizing its supply chain. Last quarter, the company said that those efforts would require nearly $400 million in capital investment. Investors will be looking for updates on progress in transforming the company's supply chain.
-- Packaged food companies have struggled to regain volumes, with shoppers continually wary of higher prices. WK Kellogg last quarter reported that price and product mix benefited sales by 2.1%, but that was more than offset by a 4.8% drop in volumes. Investors will likely be looking for signs that the company has started to win over shoppers again in the grocery store aisle.
