Asure’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 676.39%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Note
ASUR has been benefiting from strength across its primary end markets, including HR compliance and Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) solutions. The demand for its solutions has been strong and the momentum is expected to have continued in third-quarter 2023.
Asure’s ongoing investments in digital marketing are expected to have fueled productivity in the quarter to be reported.
Asure’s third-quarter 2023 performance is expected to have benefited from an increase in revenues generated by the annual preparation of federal reporting regarding employee employer reporting of W-2 Income and ACA compliance.
The company continues to pursue consolidation and standardization initiatives to improve cost structure. Its integration with Equifax is expected to have aided the adoption of Asure’s solutions. These factors are likely to have driven its third-quarter top line.
However, persistent macroeconomic uncertainty and a dynamic labor market have been significant headwinds and are expected to have hurt Asure’s top-line growth.
