Shares of commercial services and supplies companies are trading higher after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

Looking into the current session, Virco Mfg Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIRC#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) shares are trading at $13.19, after a 0.92% decrease. Over the past month, the stock fell by 7.75%, but over the past year, it actually increased by 90.97%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727883034_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating Virco Mfg P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 515.35 in the Commercial Services &amp; Supplies industry, Virco Mfg Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.17. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727883034_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Look Into Virco Mfg Inc's Price Over Earnings

MillerKnoll, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mlkn#NASDAQ">MLKN</a>) is set to release its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on Sept. 19, 2024, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company&#39;s earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 26.4% and increased 63.4% year over year. Net sales missed the consensus mark by 1.1% and declined 7.1% year over year.
MillerKnoll&#39;s earnings topped the consensus mark in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 29.6%.

MillerKnoll, Inc. price-eps-surprise | MillerKnoll, Inc. Quote
</div>
<h2>MLKN&#39;s Estimate Revision Trend</h2>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s fiscal first-quarter earnings per share has remained unchanged at 42 cents over the past 60 days. The current estimate suggests 13.5% growth from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported EPS value of 37 cents.
The consensus mark for net sales is $892 million, indicating a 2.8% year-over-year decrease.
<h2>Factors to Note For MLKN&#39;s Q1</h2>
MillerKnoll&#39;s net sales are expected to have declined year over year in the fiscal first quarter due to a notable decline in sales volume on the back of the soft North American housing market. These ongoing market challenges are particularly evident from the Americas Contract and Global Retail segments&#39; fiscal fourth-quarter performance.
For the fiscal first quarter, the company also expects net sales between $872 million and $912 million, reflecting a slight year-over-year decline of approximately 2.8% at the midpoint. In the year-ago quarter, the company&#39;s net sales were $917.7 million.
Nonetheless, MillerKnoll has been navigating a challenging market backdrop with improvements in margins and operational efficiency, supported by product innovation and integration synergies from Knoll. The realization of price optimization strategies, improved freight, distribution and inventory management and benefits from its ongoing synergy efforts are likely to have driven margins. MLKN projects an adjusted gross margin within the 39-40% range for the quarter, up from 39% from the previous year.
Adjusted operating expenses are anticipated to be between $291 million and $301 million, down from $302.7 million reported a year ago. The company expects adjusted EPS in the range of 38-44 cents for the quarter, up from 37 cents reported in the year-ago quarter.
<h2>What Our Quantitative Model Predicts for MLKN&#39;s Q1</h2>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for MLKN this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that&#39;s not the case here, as you will see below.
Earnings ESP: The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
Zacks Rank: MillerKnoll currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
<h2>Peer Releases</h2>
Virco Manufacturing Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/virc#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31, 2024) results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but sales missed the same.
Going forward, VIRC aims to seek potential acquisition opportunities to expand and strengthen its current business capabilities. Also, along with driving its prospects, Virco expects to add shareholder value through quarterly dividends and share repurchases.
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bset#NASDAQ">BSET</a>) reported tepid second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended June 1, 2024) results, with earnings and net sales missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate and declined year over year.
BSET announced a restructuring plan to better align its cost structure for future growth. This strategy leverages Bassett&#39;s brand quality, design expertise and service. The focus is on driving long-term revenue growth and profitability.
Culp, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/culp#NYSE">CULP</a>) reported mixed results in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended April 28, 2024). Its adjusted loss was narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate while net sales marginally missed the same. On a year-over-year basis, net sales declined and the adjusted loss widened.
The quarterly results reflect softness in industry demand for CULP&#39;s reportable businesses due to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds and the timing of orders, due to many larger customers experiencing prolonged conditions beginning in January. Nonetheless, initiatives to lower manufacturing costs and execute operational excellence aided the bottom line to some extent. Culp intends to work on its restructuring plan as it believes this will enable it to grow more efficiently and profitably, with a lower level of fixed costs.

MillerKnoll to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Virco Manufacturing Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/virc#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) reported mixed second-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended July 31, 2024) results, wherein earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but sales missed the same. Following the results, the company&#39;s shares lost 9.3% on Sept. 09.
On a year-over-year basis, the top and the bottom lines increased. This was primarily driven by higher factory output and improved operating efficiencies. A large counter-seasonal disaster recovery order also contributed to the positive results. This order is now blending into the company&#39;s usual seasonal delivery pattern, which peaks during the second and third quarters when schools are closed.
Although order rates declined slightly with the progress of summer, Shipments plus Backlog remained higher compared to last year. The company is confident in its ability to adapt to these changes. Its strong financial position supports the ongoing investments in new manufacturing equipment and service expansions. VIRC is well-positioned to seize unexpected opportunities as the market adjusts to a new post-pandemic phase.
Going forward, the company aims to seek potential acquisition opportunities to expand and strengthen its current business capabilities. Also, along with driving its prospects, Virco expects to add shareholder value through quarterly dividends and share repurchases.
<h2>Delving Deeper</h2>
The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.04 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.00 by 4%. In the last reported quarter, it reported adjusted earnings of 95 cents per share.

The company&#39;s bottom and top lines surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate but declined on a year-over-year basis. PENN&#39;s quarterly results were hampered by disappointing performances of its South and Interactive segments.
However, top-of-funnel growth improvement, better risk management and enhanced promotional strategies led to stronger-than-expected revenues and adjusted EBITDA in the Interactive segment. PENN continues to focus on database growth and customer engagement through the use of latest technology, ongoing investments in gaming and non-gaming areas and partnerships in food and beverage.
Choice Hotels International, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chh#NYSE">CHH</a>) delivered drab second-quarter 2024 results, with adjusted earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Nevertheless, both metrics increased on a year-over-year basis.
The results were backed by strong demand trends across the company&#39;s diversified portfolio of brands. This uptrend in demand aided in accelerating global hotel openings, expanding international market reach and increasing the size of its reward program. CHH&#39;s versatile business model and accretive growth strategies ensure the support required to foster its growth trends.
Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hlt#NYSE">HLT</a>) reported mixed second-quarter 2024 results, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate but revenues missing the same. Both metrics increased year over year.
The company&#39;s performance was backed by notable improvements in revenue per available room, attributed to higher occupancy rates and average daily rates. As of June 30, 2024, Hilton&#39;s development pipeline comprised nearly 3,370 hotels, with almost 508,300 rooms across 136 countries and territories. For 2024, HLT expects net unit growth to be in the range of 7-7.5%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Virco Manufacturing, which belongs to the Zacks Furniture industry, posted revenues of $108.42 million for the quarter ended July 2024, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.46%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $107.32 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.

While Virco Manufacturing has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?

Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Virco Manufacturing: mixed.

Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

Hooker Furniture Reports Q2 Loss, Tops Revenue Estimates

While &quot;the trend is your friend&quot; when it comes to short-term investing or trading, timing entries into the trend is a key determinant of success. And increasing the odds of success by making sure the sustainability of a trend isn&#39;t easy.
The trend often reverses before exiting the trade, leading to a short-term capital loss for investors. So, for a profitable trade, one should confirm factors such as sound fundamentals, positive earnings estimate revisions, etc. that could keep the momentum in the stock alive.
Our &quot;Recent Price Strength&quot; screen, which is created on a unique short-term trading strategy, could be pretty useful in this regard. This predefined screen makes it really easy to shortlist the stocks that have enough fundamental strength to maintain their recent uptrend. Also, the screen passes only the stocks that are trading in the upper portion of their 52-week high-low range, which is usually an indicator of bullishness.
<h2>Virco Manufacturing Corporation</h2>
Virco Mfg&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/virc#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) is one of the several suitable candidates that passed through the screen. Here are the key reasons why it could be a profitable bet for &quot;trend&quot; investors.
A solid price increase over a period of 12 weeks reflects investors&#39; continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. VIRC is quite a good fit in this regard, gaining 48.8% over this period.
However, it&#39;s not enough to look at the price change for around three months, as it doesn&#39;t reflect any trend reversal that might have happened in a shorter time frame. It&#39;s important for a potential winner to maintain the price trend. A price increase of 32.3% over the past four weeks ensures that the trend is still in place for the stock of this company.
Moreover, VIRC is currently trading at 98.3% of its 52-week High-Low Range, hinting that it can be on the verge of a breakout.
Looking at the fundamentals, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises -- the key factors that impact a stock&#39;s near-term price movements.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Another factor that confirms the company&#39;s fundamental strength is its Average Broker Recommendation of #1 (Strong Buy). This indicates that the brokerage community is highly optimistic about the stock&#39;s near-term price performance.
So, the price trend in VIRC may not reverse anytime soon.

Here's Why Momentum in Virco Manufacturing Should Keep Going

MillerKnoll, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mlkn#NASDAQ">MLKN</a>) is set to release its fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 results on Jun 26, 2024, after market close. 
In the last reported quarter, the company&#39;s earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.3% but decreased 16.7% year over year. However, net sales missed the consensus mark by 4.2% and declined 11.4% year over year. 
MillerKnoll&#39;s earnings topped the consensus mark in each of the last four quarters, the average surprise being 24.3%.
<h3>Trend in Estimate Revision</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings per share has remained unchanged at 53 cents over the past 60 days. The current estimate suggests 29.3% growth from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported EPS value of 41 cents. 
The consensus mark for net sales is $899.1 million, suggesting a 6% year-over-year decrease.
<h3>Factors to Note</h3>
MillerKnoll&#39;s net sales are expected to have declined year over year in the fiscal fourth quarter due to a notable decline in sales volume on the back of the soft North American housing market, along with challenging macroeconomic conditions in Europe and China. The ongoing uncertainty in the economy is likely to have affected its top line. 
For the fiscal fourth quarter, the company expects net sales between $880 million and $920 million, down from $956.7 million on a year-over-year basis. 
Nonetheless, the realization of price optimization strategies, improved freight, distribution and inventory management and benefits from its ongoing synergy efforts are likely to have driven margins. MLKN projects an adjusted gross margin within the 38.1-39.1% range for the quarter, up from 37% from the previous year. 
Operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $274-$284 million, down from $343.1 million reported a year ago. The company expects diluted adjusted EPS in the range of 49-57 cents for the quarter, up 29% from the year-ago quarter. 
That said, a diversified business model, along with a solid brand portfolio and customer segments and geographies, provide risk diversification and opportunities for growth.
<h3>What Our Quantitative Model Predicts</h3>
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for MLKN this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that&#39;s not the case here, as you will see below. 
Earnings ESP: The company has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. 
Zacks Rank: MillerKnoll currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.

12 Industrials Stocks Moving In Monday's Intraday Session

Virco Manufacturing Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/virc#NASDAQ">VIRC</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.13 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.13 per share. This compares to loss of $0.09 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 200%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.13 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.14, delivering a surprise of -7.69%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Virco Manufacturing, which belongs to the Zacks Furniture industry, posted revenues of $46.74 million for the quarter ended April 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 23.97%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $34.94 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Virco Manufacturing shares have lost about 9.7% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 12.2%.
What&#39;s Next for Virco Manufacturing?
While Virco Manufacturing has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Virco Manufacturing: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1 on $115.9 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.60 on $296.5 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Furniture is currently in the bottom 33% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
La-Z-Boy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lzb#NYSE">LZB</a>), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2024. The results are expected to be released on June 17.
This furniture company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.68 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -31.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
La-Z-Boy&#39;s revenues are expected to be $518.8 million, down 7.6% from the year-ago quarter.
