ZTO Express (ZTO) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
ZTO Express (ZTO - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 earnings on Aug 18, after market close.
It does not have an impressive earnings surprise history, having missed estimates in three of the last four quarters, while surpassing the same in one occasion. It has a trailing four-quarter negative earnings surprise of 7.20%, on average. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has been kept constant at 23 cents per share, in the past 60 days.
Let’s discuss the factors that might have impacted this Shanghai-based courier company’s June-quarter performance.
ZTO Express’ higher selling, general and administrative expenses are anticipated to have hurt second-quarter bottom line.
Additionally, gross margin deterioration (due to intense competition-led decline in average selling prices) is expected to have hurt results.
However, the company's express delivery services unit is likely to have performed well in the second quarter on the back of strong parcel volumes.
