The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share has been revised upward to 32 cents per share from 13 cents over the past 90 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s September-quarter performance.
We expect Daseke’s third-quarter 2021 performance to have been hurt by the Delta variant-led surge in COVID-19 cases (particularly in July) across the United States. Hurricane Ida-induced disruptions are also likely to have dented the third-quarter performance.
However, with COVID-19 cases declining and economic activities picking up the pace, revenues at the Flatbed Solutions and Specialized Solutions units are likely to have increased sequentially. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Flatbed Solutions’ revenues in the to-be-reported quarter currently indicates a 3.9% sequential increase. Also, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from the Specialized Solutions segment indicates a 4.9% sequential rise.
With improvement in the freight scenario, freight revenues (company and owner operator) at both segments are likely to have bettered sequentially. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter freight revenues (company and owner operator)at the Flatbed segment is currently pegged at $140 million, indicating a 2.2% increase from the second-quarter 2021 actuals. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter freight revenues (company and owner operator)at the Specialized Solutions segment is currently pegged at $165 million, indicating a 3.7% increase from the second-quarter 2021 actuals.
However, higher oil price shot up fuel expenses, which in turn, might have escalated the company's operating expenses in the to-be-reported quarter, thereby affecting its bottom line.
