Yeti (YETI) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?

YETI faces a setup that cuts against the consensus bullish read: analysts project a strong year-over-year earnings jump, but the Zacks Earnings ESP points to a likely miss on the quarter.

YETI is scheduled to report Q3 2026 results on November 12. The consensus calls for earnings of $0.83 per share, up 36.1% from the year-ago quarter, on revenue of $520.73 million, up 6.8% YoY. That gap between 36.1% earnings growth and 6.8% revenue growth implies expected margin expansion, so the bar for profitability sits high relative to the top line.

The warning sign is the Earnings ESP of -13.51%. A negative ESP means the most recent analyst estimates sit below the consensus figure, a signal that revisions have skewed lower. Paired with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), the model does not flag YETI as a compelling beat candidate this cycle.

That contrasts with the company's track record. YETI has beaten estimates in recent quarters, so the stock enters the print with a history of clearing expectations. Interpretation: the negative ESP suggests that streak faces a real test, and the market may be pricing in continuation of past beats rather than the risk of a miss.
