Can Global Partners (GLP) Maintain Earnings Beat Run in Q3?

GLP FANG WHD DINO

Global Partners LP (GLP - Free Report) is set to release third-quarter results on Nov 4. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter is a profit of $1.33 per unit on revenues of $4.1 billion.

Let’s delve into the factors that might have influenced the vertically integrated energy partnership’s results in the September quarter. But it’s worth taking a look at MPC’s previous-quarter performance first.

Highlights of Q2 Earnings & Surprise History

In the last-reported quarter, the Waltham, MA-based gasoline station and convenience store operator handily beat the consensus mark on strength in its Wholesale segment. GLP had reported adjusted earnings per unit of $2.35, well above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.21. Revenues of $5.3 billion generated by the firm also came in above the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 23.4%.

Global Partners beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in each of the last four quarters, resulting in an earnings surprise of 263.9%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:

 

What Does Our Model Say?

The proven Zacks model does not conclusively show that Global Partners is likely to beat estimates in the third quarter. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates. But that’s not the case here.
