Air Transport Services (ATSG) Gains on E-Commerce, Costs Ail
Read MoreHide Full Article
We recently issued an updated report on Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG - Free Report) .
In this coronavirus-ravaged world, e-commerce is gaining momentum amid the pandemic-induced social-distancing protocols, quarantine and lockdowns. Despite the aforementioned disruptions, the company’s airline operations were strong in the first nine months of 2020.
Owing to higher demand for its cargo aircraft, the company expects 2020 adjusted EBITDA to be at least $490 million. The projection indicates an improvement from the 2019 reported figure of $452 million.
The company performed very well in the third quarter of 2020 reporting better-than-expected earnings per share and revenues. Moreover, both metrics improved year over year. While revenues from the Cargo Aircraft Management segment climbed 7.4%, the same from aircraft, crew, maintenance & insurance services increased 10.3%.
Meanwhile, rising capital expenses at Air Transport Services Group is limiting the company’s bottom-line growth. Notably, capital expenditures soared 17% to $394.3 million in the first nine months of 2020 mainly due to costs incurred for the purchase of five Boeing 767 aircraft apart from expenses related to freighter modification.
Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider
Air Transport Services currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Long-term expected earnings per share (three to five years) growth rate for Knight-Swift, Landstar and Herc Holdings is pegged at 15%, 12% and 12.6%, respectively.
Biggest Tech Breakthrough in a Generation
Be among the early investors in the new type of device that experts say could impact society as much as the discovery of electricity. Current technology will soon be outdated and replaced by these new devices. In the process, it’s expected to create 22 million jobs and generate $12.3 trillion in activity.
A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
