Steelcase's (SCS) Q4 Earnings: How Things Are Shaping Up?
Steelcase Inc.’s SCS to-be-reported fourth quarter fiscal 2019 revenues and earnings are expected to increase on a year-over-year basis.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $859.8 million, reflecting year-over-year rise of 11.2%. The uptick is likely to be driven by strong organic order growth in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Designtex.
