The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 26.4%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for Expeditors this earnings season:
Factors to Note
The coronavirus-induced cancellation of multiple passenger flights (that usually carry freight as well as passenger luggage) increased the usage of charters to meet customers’ needs. This is expected to have boosted Airfreight Services’ revenues, as has been the case over the past few quarters. With this segment being the primary revenue generator, Expeditors’ top line is likely to have benefited substantially.
However, escalating operating expenses across all segments might have hurt Expeditors’ bottom line. Additionally, challenges pertaining to logistics, induced by coronavirus-led woes, might have weighed on the company’s third-quarter performance.
