Matson (MATX) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Matson (MATX - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 29.
The company boasts a stellar surprise history with its earnings having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 5.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2021 earnings has been revised 80.8% upward over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s discuss the factors that might have impacted Matson’s performance in the June quarter.
We expect the company’s second-quarter performance to have been driven by the gradual uptick in economic activities in the United States, courtesy of the easing of restrictions. The widespread vaccination is also likely to boost the to-be-reported results by buoying demand for the company's services. This, in turn, might have perked up revenues on a year-over-year basis.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter 2021 logistics revenues is currently pegged at $164 million, indicating an increase of 8.6% from the figure reported in first-quarter 2021. The same hints at a rise of 32.2% from the year-ago quarter’s actuals. Higher transportation brokerage revenues are likely to contribute to segmental results in the quarter to be reported.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter Ocean Transportation revenues is currently pegged at $692 million, implying a rise of 23.3%. from the sequential quarter’s reported number. The same hints at an increase of 68.4% from the year-ago quarter’s actuals. Better freight revenues in the China service are likely to have inflated segmental revenues.
Elevated total expenses due to escalated operating costs are likely to have dented the bottom line in the quarter to be reported.
