The shipping company has an impressive surprise record as its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters (missing the mark in the remaining one), the average beat being 1.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings was stable at $3.26 over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors that are likely to have impacted the company’s September-quarter performance.
We expect Danaos’ third-quarter bottom-line performance to have been hurt by higher vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increase in the average number of vessels in its fleet. With oil price moving north, escalated fuel costs are also likely to have flared up total expenses.
However, with the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade gathered pace, which should aid the third-quarter results of shipping stocks like Danaos. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting a high proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Bullishness surrounding the containership market is a huge positive for Danaos and is likely to have boosted its top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. The containership market is being aided by increased manufacturing activities in Asia besides other factors.
