Zacks Rank: AVY currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.

Factors Likely to Have Shaped AVY’s Q1 Performance

Avery Dennison’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect improved volumes in both of its segments. However, higher raw material, labor and freight costs are expected to have impacted the company’s margins. The impacts are anticipated to have been offset by AVY’s productivity improvement and cost-saving actions.

Our model predicts the Materials Group segment’s revenues to dip 0.6% year over year in the quarter to $1.48 billion. Higher volumes of Label Materials will be offset by currency translation. Our prediction for the Materials Group segment’s adjusted operating profit is pinned at $263 million, indicating a year-over-year improvement of 4.5%.

Our model predicts the Solutions Group segment’s revenues to be $655 million, indicating an increase of 0.1% from the prior-year quarter’s actual. Normalized growth in apparel will aid the segment’s growth. Also, the Intelligent Labels adoption is increasing in new categories, which is expected to have aided the segment’s quarterly performance. The gains are likely to have been partially offset by currency translation.

The estimate for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $57 million, indicating an increase of 0.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
