Is a Beat in Store for Alliance Data (ADS) in Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alliance Data Systems Corporation is slated to report third-quarter 2019 results on Oct 24, before market open. The company delivered negative earnings surprise in the last two reported quarters of 2019.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Alliance Data’s third-quarter results are likely to have benefited from strong performance of Card Services and LoyaltyOne segments.
Card Service, accounting for more than half of the company’s revenues, is likely to have benefited from deal wins from both new and existing clients, diversifying the portfolio into high-growth verticals. Loss and delinquency rates are expected to have declined. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third quarter average receivable is $17.6 billion, indicating an increase of 1.1% from the year-ago reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EBITDA is pegged at $369 million, indicating a decline of 10.9% from the year-ago reported figure. Revenues are estimated to be $1.2 billion, implying an increase of 1.1% from the year-ago quarter reported figure.
LoyaltyOne is expected to have benefited from BrandLoyalty, driven by growth across Europe, Asia, the United States as well as the company’s expansion efforts in Canada. Revenues are estimated to be $260 million, indicating no change from the year-ago quarter reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EBITDA is pegged at $60 million, indicating a decline of 4.8% from the year-ago reported figure.
However, expenses are likely to have increased due to strategic initiatives including expansion efforts, which might weigh have weighed on operating margins.
Share buybacks are however likely to have provided a boost to the bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.4 billion, indicating a decline of 25.5% from the year-ago reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings per share is pegged at $5.24, suggesting a decline of 16.3% from the year-ago quarter reported figure.
