Is a Beat Likely for C.H. Robinson (CHRW) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. (CHRW - Free Report) is slated to release second-quarter 2020 earnings numbers on Jul 28, after market close.
Let’s take a look at the factors that are expected to have influenced the company’s second-quarter performance.
Weak freight market conditions, worsened by coronavirus, are likely to have affected volumes in the second quarter. Soft freight demand is expected to have hurt truckload volumes in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Additionally, coronavirus-related woes might get reflected on the company’s manufacturing, automotive, chemical and energy volumes.
Contraction in volumes at the ocean and air units is anticipated to get reflected in Global Forwarding segment revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues at the Forwarding segment indicates a 15.4% decline from the second-quarter 2019 reported figure.
However, C.H. Robinson’s North American Surface Transportation ("NAST") division is expected to have benefited from the Prime Distribution Services acquisition completed in March. Additionally, the company’s top line is anticipated to have been positively impacted by last year’s acquisitions of Dema Service and Space Cargo.
