Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings has been stable at $1.19 per share over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors that are likely to have impacted the company’s March-quarter performance.
Danaos’ first-quarter performance is expected to have been affected by coronavirus-induced supply-chain disruptions. Notably, the coronavirus pandemic spelt doom for the shipping industry, which is responsible for transporting the majority of goods involved in world trade and is rightfully considered the life line of the global economy.
However, the increase in tanker freight rates following Saudi Arabia’s decision to charter multiple super-tankers for shipping crude oil to customers across the globe is likely to have boosted the company’s first-quarter performance. The plunge in oil prices (by 66.5%) during the January-March period is a bonus and is expected to have supported the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
