Ryder’s second-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from improving economic and freight market conditions. Owing to new business and higher volumes, the company’s Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) segment is expected to have performed well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for SCS revenues suggests an approximate rise of 33.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

The Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) segment too is likely to have performed well in the June-end quarter (driven by lease, rental and used vehicle sales). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for FMS revenues suggests a 13.2% rise from second-quarter 2020’s reported number. Additionally, the consensus estimate for Dedicated Transportation Solutions (DTS) segment also surged 11.6% from the year-ago quarters reported figure.

However, the bottom line is expected to be hurt in the quarter due to high capital expenditures stemming from investments in rental fleets.
