The company has a stellar surprise record with its earnings having topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters, the average being 35.04%.
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Price and EPS Surprise
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2021 earnings has been revised 36% upward over the past 90 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s discuss the factors that might have impacted Atlas Air’s performance in the September quarter.
We expect Atlas Air’s third-quarter 2021 performance to have been hurt by the Delta variant-led surge in COVID-19 cases (particularly in July) across the United States. Supply chain-induced disruptions are also likely to have dented the third-quarter performance.
With oil price moving north, escalated fuel costs are likely to have affected the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for aircraft fuel expense in third-quarter 2021 indicates a 78.8% increase from the third-quarter 2020 reported level.
On a brighter note, with COVID-19 cases declining as the Delta-variant threat relents, revenues from airline operations, which contribute to the bulk of the top line, are likely to have increased in the third quarter. Evidently, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues from airline operations in third-quarter 2021 indicates a 1% increase from the second quarter’s reported figure.
What Does the Zacks Model Say?
Our proven model does not conclusively 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 odds of an earnings beat. However, that is not the case here as elaborated below. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
