Remark Holdings (MARK) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Remark Holdings, Inc. (MARK - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2020 financial results on Nov 16.

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 20%. Moreover, it surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues by 74%.

Let's take a closer look at the factors influencing Remark Holdings’ third-quarter results.

Factors Under Consideration

Remark Holdings has been witnessing rising demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) enabled thermal imaging and facial recognition technology in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. While the thermal imaging technology helps clients scan for COVID-19 symptoms, the company’s facial-recognition technology checks for mask wearing and social distancing.

We expect these trends to have continued in the third quarter as well, boosting Remark Holdings’ top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $2.82 million, which signifies more than a four-fold jump from the year-ago quarter’s total sales of $0.69 million.

Furthermore, the company’s continued focus on reducing sales & marketing, and general & administrative expenses is likely to have aided the bottom line during the quarter under review. The consensus mark is pegged at a loss per share of 4 cents, significantly narrower than the year-ago quarter’s loss of 11 cents per share.
