We expect the latest deal to help the company capitalize on the opportunity, which in turn, should add to its top line going forward.
MoneyGram is set to release its second-quarter earning on Jul 29. The Zacks Consensus Estimate that is currently pegged at 14 cents for the second quarter, which reflects a year-over-year growth of 16.7%. However, our proven model does not conclusively show that the company will beat earnings this quarter. This is because the insurer has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) but an Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes surprise prediction difficult.
