Is a Beat in Store for Ally Financial (ALLY) in Q2 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2021 results on Jul 20, before the opening bell. Its earnings and revenues in the to-be-reported quarter are expected to have increased on a year-over-year basis.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results benefited from growth in revenues and provision benefits, partly offset by a rise in expenses.
Ally Financial has an impressive earnings surprise history. Its earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 110.5%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for interest and fees on finance receivables and loans is pegged at $1.59 billion, indicating a marginal rise from the previous quarter’s reported number.
The consensus estimate for interest on loans held for sale is pegged at $4.5 million, suggesting a sequential decline of 10%.
Driven by an expected increase in interest and fees on finance receivables and loans (the major component of interest income), total financing revenues and other interest income are expected to have improved in the quarter. The consensus estimate for the same is pegged at $2.14 billion, suggesting 2.3% growth sequentially.
Looking at the fee income components, the consensus estimate for insurance premiums and service revenues earned of $272 million suggests a decline of 2.9% sequentially. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net gain on mortgage and automotive loans of $22 million indicates a decline of 38.9% from the previous quarter.
The consensus estimate for net other gains on investments is pegged at $98 million, indicating a 20.3% sequential fall. Also, the consensus estimate for net other income of $86 million suggests a 32.3% decline.
Thus, due to an anticipated decline in all fee income components, total non-interest income is expected to have fallen in the quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total other revenues is pegged at $472 million, suggesting a decline of 16.5% sequentially.
Coming to expenses, Ally Financial has been witnessing a persistent rise in expenses over the past several quarters. As it launches new products and seeks to expand into newer areas of operations, overall costs are likely to have been elevated in the second quarter as well.
