Read MoreHide Full Article
Limbach Holdings, Inc. (LMB - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2020 results on Nov 12 after the bell.
The company posted an earnings surprise of 212.12% in the last-reported quarter. It had come up with earnings per share of 37 cents against a loss of 13 cents in the year-ago quarter. Revenues increased 1.9% to $135.2 million.
Expectations This Time Around
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s earnings in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 9 cents, indicating a decline of 10% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure, attributable to operating weakness.
The consensus mark for revenues stands at $142 million, indicating 3.9% year-over-year decline. Revenues from the construction segment are likely to have been weighed down by pandemic-led project suspensions in regions like Eastern and Western Pennsylvania, Florida and New England. Service revenues are anticipated to have been affected by pandemic-led delays in several operating regions.
