Atlas Air (AAWW) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Nov 5, before market open.
The company has a decent surprise record with its earnings having outshined the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters while missing the mark in the remaining one. The average beat is in excess of 100%.
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Price and EPS Surprise
Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has been stable at $2.34 per share in the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s take a look at the factors that might have impacted the company’s September-quarter performance.
We expect Atlas Air’s third-quarter performance to have been buoyed by upbeat airfreight demand amid the current turbulent scenario. In a bid to match this demand uptick, the company made adjustments to its fleet like reactivating three of its 747-400 converted freighters apart from operationalizing the 777 freighter from the company’s dry leasing operation.
Moreover, third-quarter results are likely to benefit from higher commercial charter yields. Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for direct contribution from the charter segment indicates an increase of more than 200% from the reported figure in third-quarter 2019.
Additionally, moderate fuel costs are likely to have aided the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for expenses on aircraft fuel implies a 14.6% decline from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
However, revenues from the ACMI segment are likely to have been lower in the to-be-reported quarter due to reduced block hours following the redeployment of 747-400 aircraft to the charter unit. Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for ACMI segment revenues estimates a decrease of 2.5% from the reported figure in third-quarter 2019.
What Does the Zacks Model Say?
Our proven Zacks model does not predict an earnings beat for Atlas Air this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. However, this is not the case here as illustrated below. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Transportation Stock to Consider

Snapshots of Sectorial Releases
Investors may also want to recapitulate the third-quarter results of a few companies, earnings of which surpassed estimates. Below we present the performance releases of two such sectorial players.
