Read MoreHide Full Article

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (BR - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter fiscal 2021 results on May 4, before the bell.

The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters, matched the same in one and missed in the other, the average beat being 13.5%.

Q3 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.28 billion, which indicates a 2.7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Expected growth is likely to have been driven by acquisitions, organic growth and higher trading volumes.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net revenues in the Global Technology and Operations segment is pegged at $321 million, which indicates year-over-year increase of 4.9%. The consensus estimate for net revenues at Investor Communication Solutions is pegged at $980 million, which suggests year-over-year increase of 1.8%.

The bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have been benefited by operating strength. The consensus mark for earnings is at $1.67 per share, which is same as the year ago reported figure.
