Read MoreHide Full Article

OneMain Holdings, Inc. (OMF - Free Report) is slated to report third-quarter 2019 results on Oct 28, after the market closes. Its earnings and revenues for the to-be-reported quarter are expected to rise year over year.

In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results were aided by growth in revenues and lower expenses.

The company boasts an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the consensus estimate in all of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 7.7%.

However, activities of the company in the third quarter failed to encourage analysts to revise earnings estimates upward. Thus, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for its earnings of $1.58 for the to-be-reported quarter has been unchanged over the past seven days. Nevertheless, it indicates rise of 20.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

The consensus estimate for sales is pegged at $790.2 million, indicating growth of 11.9% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

Key Estimates for Q3

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net finance receivables held for investment is pegged at $17.8 billion for the third quarter, which indicates 4.6% growth sequentially. Moreover, the consensus estimate for average net receivables of $17.1 billion suggests rise of 3.4% from the prior quarter’s reported figure.

Thus, supported by growth in net finance receivables, the company’s interest income is expected to have risen in the quarter, thereby aiding top-line growth.

However, overall expenses are likely to have remained elevated in the third quarter mainly due to continued increase in salaries and benefits costs.
