GBXhas an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the four preceding quarters and missing in one, the average beat being 32.96%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings have remained flat at $1.08 per share in the past 60 days.
Let us take a look at the factors that are likely to have influenced Greenbrier Companies’ performance in the quarter under review.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings is pegged at $1.08 per share, which indicates a 5.88% year-over-year rise, reflecting solid operating performance in manufacturing, leasing and management services.
We expect rail volumes to have been impressive in the to-be-reported quarter. Containers, cars, chemicals and crude oil are expected to drive rail traffic and rail demand in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Strong cash flow generating ability is also likely to boost results. However, high fuel costs due to the uptick in the oil price are likely to have dented the bottom-line performance.
