Q4 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues for the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $3.69 billion, indicating a 4.4% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The top line is expected to predominantly reflect the impacts of the decrease in acquisition revenues, net of disposition revenues.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.94 per share, implying a marginal year-over-year decline. Higher operating expenses are likely to have negatively impacted the bottom line in the quarter.
