Lamb Weston Holdings is expected to report a top-and bottom-line decline when it posts first-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings on Oct. 6, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues pegged at $1.7 billion, a 0.3% decrease from the year-ago reported number, and earnings of 59 cents a share, down 20.3% year over year. The consensus earnings mark has risen by a penny over the past seven days, and Lamb Weston carries a trailing four-quarter surprise of 24.6%, on average. Management expects first-quarter net sales to be flat and adjusted EBITDA to decline in the low-teens range before growth improves through the remainder of the year, citing carryover effects of prior-year potato costs, elevated edible-oil costs, and price/mix headwinds in North America and competitive conditions in EMEA. Partly offsetting these pressures, North America's continued sales-volume growth and market-share gains, customer wins, strong retention, and improved supply-chain execution are expected to support results. Lamb Weston currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 and an Earnings ESP of +3.61%, which the model says predicts an earnings beat.
Lamb Weston Holdings IncQ1 FY2027 estimates point to revenue and EPS declines, with adjusted EBITDA expected down low-teens on potato and edible-oil costs and price/mix headwinds.
