Scorpio Tankers (STNG) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Scorpio Tankers (STNG - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2020 results on Aug 6, before market open.
The company has a mixed record with respect to earnings per share. Its bottom line beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the last four quarters and missed the same in the other two.
Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has remained stable at $2.37 per share in the past 30 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s June-quarter performance.
The coronavirus-induced demand woes for oil and refined petroleum products are expected to have hurt the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Given the prevalence of the pandemic, multiple sailings were already canceled in the quarter. Moreover, vessels were rapidly idled. Consequently, voyage revenues are likely to have decreased in the quarter to be reported.
Even though oil prices are persistently low, the same rebounded from the rock bottom levels of the first quarter of the year. Consequently, tanker rates are likely to have declined in the April-June months, thereby denting the company’s performance. However, total operating expenses are expected to have fallen in the June quarter, mainly owing to the dip in vessel operating costs, boosting the bottom line in turn.
