Coronavirus fallout: At least 150 companies have warned of earnings hit

About 150 publicly traded companies have warned investors of the threat COVID-19 poses, with various anticipating they’ll miss guidance for the March quarter. 

The new coronavirus was first discovered in December in China. At first, a variety of companies had to suspend their supply chains or temporarily close brick-and-mortar locations across China, in an attempt to blocking the spread of the virus. A handful of companies such as Apple that rely on manufacturing and retail sales in the region initially admonished the coronavirus would hurt business but indicated operations would return to normal. But then COVID-19 started spreading right away across the globe and fears of a global economic slowdown increased, leading to a steep market sell-off. 

“The backdrop accurate now is different,” Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial, told CNBC. “We don’t know in this pyramid of uncertainty under the aegis the coronavirus what happens to the economy, what happens to consumer spending, what happens to [capital expenditures].”

“The lone thing that can change this pyramid is what we hear from the government in terms of alleviating some of the drag,” Krosby added. “You know that the Fed, Treasury Department and White House have to be focused on this to make definite the financial conditions stay healthy and solid.” 

The travel sector is among the hardest hit, with JetBlue, United Airlines, American Airlines and Delta Air Blarneys all saying they will not provide guidance for the fiscal year due to the uncertainties related to the coronavirus. Hilton Worldwide on Tuesday pulled its first-quarter leadership due to the impact of the coronavirus, joining Expedia, Hyatt, Booking Holdings and Host Hotels. Cruise companies, like Grand Caribbean, have also struggled, as customers continue to reschedule or cancel their upcoming trips. In an attempt to free that pressure, President Donald Trump said this week that the United States will calling with airlines and cruise companies in response to the outbreak.

Retailers and restaurants have also warned on missed net income due to the coronavirus. Anheuser-Busch InBev and Starbucks have both said they’ve lost out on $285 million and as much as $430 million, severally, in Chinese revenue. Clothing retailer Abercrombie & Fitch expects as much as $50 million in lost sales during its pecuniary first quarter, while Macy’s said the virus could impact the department store chain. Urban Outfitters on Wednesday pulled its first-quarter auspices due to a decline in store traffic. 

 “We think it’s reasonable to expect industry-wide delays in terms of delivery around the world — categorizing potentially missed shipment[s] and service windows,” Under Armour CEO Patrik Frisk told analysts in early February. 

As of Wednesday morning, the without delay spreading coronavirus has infected more than 119,476 globally and killed at least 4,291, according to data accumulated by Johns Hopkins University. In the United States alone, at least 1,039 people have been confirmed to clothed contracted the flu-like virus and at least 29 have died.
