PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
However, the activities of the company in the fiscal fourth quarter seem inadequate to win analysts’ confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PFLT’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of 30 cents has been unchanged over the past 30 days. The figure suggests a year-over-year rise of 7.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales of $27 million indicates an increase of 25.1% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
Other Key Estimates for Q4
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for interest income (from controlled, affiliated investments) is pegged at $3.30 million, suggesting a sequential decline of 22%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for dividend income (from controlled, affiliated investments) is pinned at $3.94 million, suggesting no change from the previous quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for interest income (investment income) is pegged at $19.27 million, indicating a 7.9% sequential decline. The consensus estimate for other income (investment income) is pegged at $0.52 million, suggesting a sequential rise of 79.3%.
Earnings Whispers
According to our proven model, it cannot be conclusively predicted whether PennantPark will be able to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings this time around. This is because it does not have the right combination of the two key ingredients — a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or higher.
