Read MoreHide Full Article

Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. is scheduled to report second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 4, after market close.

Let’s see how things are shaping up for Eagle Bulk Shipping this earnings season.

Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Eagle Bulk Shipping’s second-quarter 2022 revenues is pegged at $140.92 million, indicating 33.8% growth year over year. The top line is likely to have benefited from higher charter rates backed by market recovery and increased demand for drybulk products.

On the flip side, higher bunker expenses as a result of increased fuel prices and higher vessel operating expenses due to higher crew expenses might bother Eagle Bulk Shipping’s bottom line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EGLE’s second-quarter 2022 earnings has been revised downward by 3.5% in the past 90 days. The company also has an unimpressive earnings surprise history, having lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the preceding four quarters, the average miss being 2.87%.

Stocks to Consider

Werner has an Earnings ESP of +1.42% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. WERN will release second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 3.

Werner’s efforts to reward its shareholders through dividends and share buybacks are impressive. Improvement in the freight scenario is aiding performances of the Logistics and Truckload Transportation Services segments.
