Since SALE is a web based business, checking our usual roster of online data resources for RetailMeNot.com can clue us in on how the quarter probably went.
According to quantcast.com, SALE shareholders better hope the numbers are wrong as the number of people who visited RetailMeNot.com dropped -39.6% in Q2 versus Q1. Last quarter, SALE's revenue came in at $61,270,000. It could be tough to hit $60,230,000 with 40% fewer visitors.
At the same time, pageviews per visitor increased by only 1.4% during the last three months. That's not going to be enough to make up for lost visitors, provided quantcast's figures are somewhat accurate, normally the margin of error is not that wide.
Now, we get a different picture from Google Trends' Search Volume Intensity (SVI). Average SVI for the keyword "RetailMeNot" increased 5.26% in the second quarter relative to the first and up 44% YoY, which opens up the possibility of a revenue and earnings surprise.
Overall: RetailMeNot Inc. (NASDAQ:SALE) better hope that SVI wins out over quantcast's visitors data otherwise shares could be on SALE. Investors might be cautious ahead of Monday's announcement with conflicting data.
