Read MoreHide Full Article

Ferroglobe (GSM - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Nov 15, after market close.

Q3 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the GSM’s third-quarter revenues is pegged at $695 million, suggesting growth of 62% from the year-ago quarter. The same for earnings per share is pegged at 68 cents, indicating a turnaround performance from the loss of 36 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter earnings has remained unchanged in the past 30 days.

Q2 Performance

In the last reported quarter, Ferroglobe delivered year-over-year improvement in both adjusted earnings per share and revenues, with both attaining record levels. The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate on both metrics. GSM’s earnings have surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, delivering a positive earnings surprise of 10.2%, on average.

Key Factors to Note

The company’s efforts to bolster its overall competitiveness by refocusing the product portfolio towards higher value-added products and continuously improving its cost position and production efficiency have been driving results for the past few consecutive quarters. Its net debt is also at the lowest since the company’s formation, which is expected to have boosted its earnings as well.

GSM’s third-quarter 2022 results are likely to reflect the impact of higher volumes supported by strong demand. However, lower prices might have had an offsetting impact.  The costs of several key inputs such as electrodes, paste and coal have been adversely impacted by inflationary pressures through the course of the quarter. General operating costs are also anticipated to have been high in the quarter. However, this is likely to have been partially offset by an energy cost benefit in France.
