Global Ship Lease (GSL) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Global Ship Lease (GSL - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 earnings on Aug 5, 2021, before market open.
The company has a stellar surprise record with its earnings having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 20.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has been stable at 56 cents in the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s June-quarter performance.
With the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade gained momentum and this uptick is expect to aid the second-quarter results of shipping stocks like Global Ship Lease. The upside also highlights the shipping industry’s sole responsibility to transport a high proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Bullish sentiment surrounding the containership market is a huge blessing for Global Ship Lease and is likely to have boosted its top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. The containership market is being aided by the ramped-up manufacturing activities in Asia besides other factors. The already high container rates were further hiked by the Suez Canal crisis earlier this year. The steep rates are likely to have boosted the company’s performance in the June quarter as container capacity tightened.
On the flip side, escalated time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to increased fuel costs, are likely to have hurt the bottom line in the June quarter. Increase in ownership days is likely to have flared up vessel operating expenses.
