Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
What Do the Estimates Say?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter consolidated revenues for AdvanSix is currently pegged at $408.3 million, which calls for a rise of around 20% year over year.
Some Factors at Play
The company is expected to have benefited from healthy end-market demand and growth of its differentiated products in the quarter to be reported. It is seeing a recovery in demand across a number of markets including automotive, building & construction, electronics and packaging and is also gaining from strong agricultural industry fundamentals. Favorable market conditions and tight industry supply are likely to have supported demand for nylon in North America. Strong demand for chemical intermediates is also likely to have continued across a number of markets in the December quarter.
Higher demand for its product lines is expected to have supported its volumes in the fourth quarter. Higher prices are also expected to have driven its top line. However, the company is likely to have faced headwinds from higher raw material costs and supply-chain disruptions in the quarter to be reported.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for AdvanSix this season. 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. But that’s not the case here.
