Tronox Holdings plc (TROX - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2022 results after the closing bell on Apr 27. The company’s results are expected to reflect higher volumes and prices for titanium dioxide (TiO2).
The company has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of around 19.3%, on average. It posted a negative earnings surprise of 11.7% in the last reported quarter.
The stock has declined 10% in the past year compared with the industry’s 3.4% decline.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter consolidated revenues for Tronox is currently pegged at $943 million, which calls for a rise of 5.8% year over year.
Some Factors at Play
The company is likely to have benefited from higher sales volumes of TiO2 in the first quarter. Strong customer demand on the back of the ongoing economic recovery is expected to have supported TiO2 volumes. Higher volumes are expected to have driven its top line in the quarter to be reported.
Higher TiO2 and zircon prices are also expected to have aided its performance. The company’s regional pricing initiatives are likely to have supported prices in the quarter to be reported.
However, the company is likely to have faced headwinds from higher raw material costs and supply chain disruptions in the March quarter. It is likely to have witnessed increased commodity prices in the quarter. Higher costs are expected to have weighed on its margins. The company is also likely to have witnessed some volume pressure in zircon in the first quarter.
