The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter's earnings has surged 73.6% to $4.60 per share over the past 60 days.

International Seaways has an encouraging earnings surprise history. The shipping company's earnings have outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average beat of 33.9%.
We expect International Seaways’performance in the to-be-reported quarter to have been significantly impacted by persistent macroeconomic uncertainty, which might have affected customer demand and shipment volumes.
On the brighter side, higher spot earnings and improved profit-sharing results from applicable time charters are likely to have boosted the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Consolidated time charter equivalent revenues and crude tanker revenues are likely to have been strong in the quarter to be reported.
However, the diverse fleet maintained by International Seaways, which focuses on diversification across market segments, might boost results. Efforts to control costs are also expected to have aided INSW’s bottom-line performance in the to-be-reported quarter. However, high fuel costs are likely to have hurt INSW’s performance in the third quarter.
