Navient Likely to be Hurt by a Decline in Fee Income in Q3 Earnings
Read MoreHide Full Article
Navient Corporation (NAVI - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2024 results on Oct. 30, before market open. NAVI’s quarterly revenues and earnings are anticipated to have declined from the year-ago quarter’s reported level.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
This Wilmington, DE-based lender’s second-quarter 2024 earnings of 53 cents surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents. Results were driven by a decline in total expenses. A solid liquidity position was another positive. A decrease in net interest income (NII) and other income were headwinds.
NAVI has a decent earnings surprise history. Navient’s earnings outpaced estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and missed once, with an average earnings surprise of 4.38%.
Per the Fed’s latest data, consumer loan demand remained steady in the third quarter. The lending environment witnessed a slight improvement after the central bank cut interest rates by 50 basis points to a range of 4.75-5% on Sept. 18, marking the first reduction since March 2020.
While this development might prove to be helpful in the long term, it is not expected to have a positive impact on NAVI’s NII during the third quarter. Also, relatively higher rates might have hurt NII growth prospects due to the elevated funding costs. As a result, revenues in the Federal Education Loans and Consumer Lending segments are likely to have declined.
The consensus estimate for NII (Federal Education loan) is pegged at $49.3 million, suggesting a sequential decline of 7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NII (consumer lending) is pegged at $122 million, suggesting a sequential decline of 3.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NII (Core) is pegged at $142.3 million, indicating a sequential rise of 4.6%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for other income of $5.1 million indicates a 27.5% increase from the prior quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for servicing revenues is pegged at $16.23 million, indicating a 9.8% fall from the prior quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for asset recovery and business processing revenues of $80.2 million indicates a 1% fall from the prior quarter’s reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total non-interest income of $102.6 million declined marginally from the prior quarter’s reported figure.
Navient's cost-control measures are expected to have improved operating efficiency and reduced expenses, which might have offered some support to the bottom-line growth in the third quarter.

Also, the figure indicates a 72.62% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
