Read MoreHide Full Article

Textainer Group Holdings Limited is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 earnings on Aug 5, 2021, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has been stable at $1.19 in the past 30 days. The consensus mark for revenues is currently pegged at $193.6 million, indicating a 34% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.

Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s June-quarter performance.

With economic activities gaining pace as restrictions are being eased following increased vaccination, overall lease rental income is likely to have increased in the June quarter from the March quarter actuals.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter lease rental income indicates a 15.4% sequential increase. Lease rental income is likely to have increased sequentially for both owned and managed fleet, driven by factors like higher fleet size, utilization and average rental rate.

Operating costs might have risen in the June quarter due to higher general and administrative expenses. This is likely to have adversely impacted the bottom-line performance in the quarter.
