The shipping company has an impressive surprise record as its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 12.9%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has been revised downward to the tune of 3.37% over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors that are likely to have impacted the company’s September-quarter performance.
We expect Danaos’ third-quarter bottom-line performance to have been hurt by escalated time charter and voyage expenses. With oil price moving north, fuel costs are shooting up. This, in turn, is likely to have pushed up the operating costs in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, the Delta-variant induced operational disruptions are likely to have negatively impacted the shipping company’s performance in the September quarter.
However, the bullish sentiment surrounding the containership market is a huge blessing for Global Ship Lease and is likely to have boosted its top line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. The containership market is being aided by the ramped-up manufacturing activities in Asia besides other factors.
