What to Expect When GrubHub (GRUB) Reports Earnings Tuesday

NEW YORK (TheStreet) --Shares of GrubHub (GRUB) - Get Report  closed higher by 1.22% to $26.54 on Monday afternoon, as the company prepares to release its latest financial report. 

GrubHub is scheduled to release its 2016 first quarter financial results before the market open on Tuesday morning.

Analysts are expecting the online and mobile platform for restaurant order pick-up and deliveries to post a year over year rise in its earnings per share and revenue results.

A survey of analysts taken by Thomson Reuters shows that the company has been forecast to report earnings of 20 cents per share on revenue of $111.13 million for the three month period ended in March.

GrubHub's earnings came in at 18 cents per share on revenue of $88.25 million for the 2015 first quarter.

Separately, TheStreet Ratings has set a "hold" rating and a score of C on GrubHub stock. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and good cash flow from operations. However, as a counter to these strengths, TheStreet Ratings finds that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year. 

TheStreet Ratings objectively rated this stock according to its "risk-adjusted" total return prospect over a 12-month investment horizon. Not based on the news in any given day, the rating may differ from Jim Cramer's view or that of this articles's author.
