Ryder System’s (R - Free Report) second-quarter 2019 earnings (excluding 3 cents from non-recurring items) of $1.4 per share came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, the bottom line declined year over year due to below-par used vehicle sales.
Total revenues amounted to $2,245 million, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2,255.5 million. The top line, however, increased 7.5% year over year.
More than the revenue miss and the year-over-year earnings contraction, the company’s bearish bottom-line projections for third-quarter and full-year 2019 disappointed investors. Consequently, the stock declined 10% to $53.38 per share on Jul 30.
For third-quarter 2019, the company anticipates adjusted earnings per share between $1.45 and $1.60 compared with $1.67 registered a year ago. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged higher at $1.74.
For 2019, Ryder, carrying a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), anticipates adjusted earnings per share between $5.50 and $5.80 (earlier view: $6.05 to $6.35). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for full-year earnings is pegged higher at $6.15. The company trimmed its 2019 earnings guidance as it expects weakness pertaining to used vehicle sales to persist during the current year.
