Read MoreHide Full Article
IHS Markit Ltd. is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2019 results on Sep 24, before the bell.
Shares of the company have gained 23.5% over the past year, outperforming the industry’s rise of 18.7%.
How Things Are Shaping Up
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.13 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 12.8%. The expected growth is likely to be driven by strength across all four segments - Resources, Transportation, CMS and Financial Services.
The consensus estimate for the Resources segment stands at $224 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 5.7%. Strong performance across downstream pricing, chemicals and CERAWeek are likely to drive this expected growth.
The consensus mark for the Transportation segment stands at $323 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 8.8%. Strong performance across auto, aerospace and defense and, maritime and trade businesses should drive the segments growth.
The CMS segment is expected to deliver year-over-year growth of 5.1% in the to-be-reported quarter driven by strength in the product design business.
The Financial Services segment revenues are expected to grow 23.4% year over year on the back of strength in WSO services and digital solutions, and strong performance of Ipreo.
In second-quarter fiscal 2019, total revenues of $1.14 billion increased 12.6% on a year-over-year basis.
The consensus mark for earnings per share in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at 63 cents, indicating year-over-year growth of 8.6%. The expected growth is likely to be driven by streamlining of internal processes, prudent investments in technology and product.
In second-quarter fiscal 2019, adjusted earnings per share of 71 cents increased 16.4% year over year.
What Our Model Says
According to the Zacks model, a company with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) has a good chance of beating estimates if it also has a positive Earnings ESP. Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell) stocks are best avoided, especially if they have a negative Earnings ESP. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
IHS Markit has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% and a Zacks Rank #3, a combination that makes surprise prediction difficult.
Long-term expected earnings (three to five years) growth rate for S&P Global, Nielsen and Charles River is 10%, 12% and 13%, respectively.
5 Stocks Set to Double
Each was hand-picked by a Zacks expert as the #1 favorite stock to gain +100% or more in 2020. Each comes from a different sector and has unique qualities and catalysts that could fuel exceptional growth.
Most of the stocks in this report are flying under Wall Street radar, which provides a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor.
