Grindrod Shipping (GRIN) to Post Q4 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Grindrod Shipping Holdings Ltd. (GRIN - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2021 earnings on Feb 16, after market close.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings has been stable at $2.50 over the past seven days. The consensus mark for revenues is currently pegged at $118.51 million.
Against this backdrop, let’s discuss the factors that might have impacted Grindrod Shipping’s performance in the December quarter.
With the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade picked up the pace, which in turn, is likely to aid the fourth-quarter results of shipping stocks like Grindrod Shipping. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting an enormous proportion of goods involved in world trade.
The bullish sentiment surrounding the Drybulk market is likely to have boosted Grindrod Shipping’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter. Revenues are likely to have increased owing to favorable Drybulk freight rates. However, we expect GRIN’s fourth-quarter bottom-line performance to have been hurt by an escalated time charter and voyage expenses. A sharp rise in oil price is augmenting fuel costs. This, in turn, is likely to have jacked up the operating costs in the to-be-reported quarter.
Moreover, the Omicron-variant-induced operational hazards are likely to have hampered the shipping company’s performance in the December quarter.

Strong demand for air freight despite the coronavirus pandemic supports Atlas Air. The boom in e-commerce trends amid the current scenario is a catalyst. These tailwinds are expected to have aided AAWW’s fourth-quarter performance.

Uptick in airfreight revenues is aiding EXPD. Due to the coronavirus-induced imbalance between scheduled capacity and demand, EXPD is using charters to meet customer needs. Revenues from the airfreight services unit increased approximately 54% year over year in the first nine months of 2021.
