Euroseas's (ESEA) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Euroseas Ltd. (ESEA - Free Report) is slated to release third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 16, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has been stable at $1.52 per share in the past 60 days. The company has a negative earnings surprise of 83.7% (surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate once and missing thrice).
Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s September-quarter performance.
Revenues in the to-be-reported quarter are expected to have increased sequentially, driven by improved average charter rates of the company’s vessels, among other factors. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter revenues is pegged at $24.4 million, up 89.6% from third-quarter 2020 actuals.
Time charter equivalent rate might have increased in the to-be-reported quarter, owing to the betterment in the revenue scenario. Higher revenues are likely to have boosted operating income in the September quarter.
However, results might have been hurt by escalated expenses (increased crewing costs for vessels, increased supply of stores, increase in hull and machinery insurance premiums) resulting from difficulties in crew rotation due to COVID-19 led restrictions.
