GNK has an appreciative surprise record as its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 42.6%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings has declined 1.6% to $1.89 over the past 60 days.
Genco Shipping & Trading Limited Price and EPS Surprise
Against this backdrop, let’s discuss the factors that might have impacted Genco Shipping’s performance in the December quarter.
Bullishness surrounding the dry bulk market is a huge boon for Genco Shipping and is likely to have boosted its top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. Increased fleet utilization with the gradual resumption of economic activities and an uptick in world trade are likely to get reflected in Genco Shipping’s impending results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter fleet utilization is currently pegged at 98%, indicating growth from 97% recorded in fourth-quarter 2020.
On the flip side, COVID-related expenses and higher crew-related costs might have increased the daily vessel-operating expenses. This, in turn, is likely to have dented the bottom-line performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
