IHS Markit (INFO) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
IHS Markit Ltd. is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Sep 28, before the bell.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.4%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.17 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 9.2%. The top line is likely to have gained from strong performance in the Financial Services and Transportation segments.
In the transportation segment, the dealer-facing part of IHS Markit’s automotive offerings is likely to have experienced robust growth across CARFAX and automotive Mastermind in the quarter. Demand for products supporting OEMs, banking and insurance clients as well as parts manufacturers is expected to have increased significantly.
The Financial Services segment’s revenues are expected to have benefited from organic growth, driven by growth in demand for the company’s pricing, reference data and valuation offerings, strong growth in the equities regulatory reporting as well as trade and analytics platforms. The segment is likely to have benefitted from strong activity in equities and loan markets, combined with strength in customers in software solutions, corporate actions, regulatory and compliance offerings.
The consensus mark for earnings per share in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 83 cents per share, indicating year-over-year growth of 7.8%. The bottom line is projected to have benefited from improvement in operating performance.
