C.H. Robinson has underperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters (met once), the average miss being 11%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for C.H. Robinson this earnings season.
Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for C.H. Robinson’s third-quarter 2023 revenues is pegged at $4.37 billion, indicating a 27.4% year-over-year decline. The top line is likely to have been weighed down by lower pricing in CHRW’s ocean and truckload services.
C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Our estimate for North American Surface Transportation’s third-quarter revenues indicates a 20% decrease from a year ago. Lower truckload pricing, reflecting softening freight demand, might have affected segmental revenues. Our estimate for Global Forwarding’s third-quarter revenues predicts a 51% plunge from the year-ago figure. The downside is expected to have been caused by lower pricing in CHRW’s ocean services.
Further, escalating operating expenses, primarily due to a rise in personnel expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses, might have dented C.H. Robinson’s bottom line in the third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CHRW’s third-quarter 2023 earnings is pegged at 82 cents, suggesting a 53.9% year-over-year fall.
Our consensus estimate for All Other and Corporate (Robinson Fresh, Managed Services and Other Surface Transportation) third-quarter revenues forecasts an 11% jump from the year-ago level.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for C.H. Robinson this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
