Dollarama Inc. (DOL)

< Dollarama reported weaker-than-expected Q1/22 that missed on both the top and bottom lines as efforts to curb the Covid-19 pandemic impacted results. Revenue of US$954.23 million and adjusted EPS of US$0.36 missed Bloomberg consensus estimates of US$965.70 million and US$0.38, respectively. Revenue grew 13% y/y mainly attributable to the growth in the total number of stores over the past twelve months, from 1,301 stores on May 3, 2020, to 1,368 stores on May 2, 2021, and an increase in comparable-store sales driven by higher sales of seasonal items, including Easter holiday and spring-summer products. Due to Covid-19, the Ontario government placed limits on store capacity and sale of non-essential goods which had an immediate and sustained impact on sales during the quarter. Due to the ongoing pandemic, Dollarama has limited the guidance it will be providing for Fiscal 2022 to new store openings and capital expenditures. The company expects to open 60 to 70 new stores during the year and have capital expenditures in the range of US$160.0 million to US$170.0 million. DOL shares are trading lower at midday.

Campbell Soup Company (CPB)

< Campbell Soup reported weaker-than-expected Q3/21 results with revenue of US$1.98 billion and adjusted EPS of US$0.57 missing Bloomberg consensus estimates of US$2.00 billion and US$0.66, respectively. The revenue miss was largely driven by lagged year-ago figures that were boosted by pandemic-related demand. Mark Clouse, Campbell’s President, and CEO said, “our results were impacted by a rising inflationary environment, short-term increases in supply chain costs, and some executional pressures as we continued to advance our transformation agenda, primarily in our Snacks division. We are confident that these are all addressable, and we are taking appropriate actions, including putting pricing in place for the next fiscal year.” As a result, the company said it would boost prices to adjust for inflation that cut into profits during the quarter. The company provided updated guidance for FY/21 with adjusted EPS expected to be in the range of US$2.90 to US$2.93, below Bloomberg consensus estimate at $3.08. CPB shares are trading lower at midday.

United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS)

Financial targets for 2023 include revenue of US$100 billion, adjusted operating margin of 13.2%, cumulative CAPEX over the next 3 years of US$14 billion, and adjusted ROIC of 27.5%.

Grab Holdings Inc. (AGC)

< Singapore’s Grab delayed the expected completion of its record-breaking US$40 billion merger with U.S. SPAC Altimeter Growth Corp. (AGC) to Q4/21 from Q3/21. The ride-hailing and food-delivery giant had to push back its deal deadline as it works on a financial audit of the past three years. Grab is the latest company to be affected by intensifying scrutiny from U.S. financial regulators on deals involving SPACs, which has led to some blank- check companies restating filings in recent months. Grab also a provided an update on its business performance for Q1/21. Consolidated gross merchandise value rose 5.2% y/y to US$3.6 billion, with 49% growth in food delivery helping to offset a decline in ride hailing. The financial services segment expanded by 17% y/y. Spend per user increased by 33% y/y, driven by synergies across its business segments. The company did not provide revenue or profit numbers. AGC shares are trading lower at midday.
