Salem Media Group (SALM - Free Report) is set to release third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 4.The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 370.2%.
In the last reported quarter, earnings of 8 cent per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a penny. The company had reported loss of 9 cents in second-quarter 2020.
Revenues increased 20.6% year over year to $63.78 million as well as surpassed the consensus mark of $60.2 million.
For third-quarter 2021, Salem Media expects revenues to be up 2-4%. Excluding revenues realized from political and the Uncle Tom film on SalemNOW in the year-ago quarter, revenues are anticipated to increase in the range of 9-11% in third-quarter 2021.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $62 million, indicating an increase of 2.2% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings now stands at 32 cents.

The acquisition of several assets, including SeniorResource.com, ShiftWorship.com domain and digital Assets, and Centerline New Media domain and digital assets are likely to have aided Salem Media’s third-quarter top-line performance.
