Reasons to Retain FLEETCOR Technologies (FLT) in Your Portfolio
Read MoreHide Full Article
FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. is currently benefiting from strong sales, robust retention levels and healthy same-store sales.
FLEETCOR has an expected long-term (three to five years) earnings per share growth rate of 16%. The company’s earnings are expected to register growth of 18.6% in 2022 and 11.9% in 2023.
Factors That Auger Well
FLEETCOR’s top line continues to grow organically, driven by continued strong sales, robust retention levels and healthy same-store sales. The company’s organic revenue growth was 15% in the first quarter of 2022.
Acquisitions, over time, have helped FLEETCOR expand its customer base, headcount and operations. The recent acquisition of Levarti is expected to strengthen FLEETCOR’s airline-lodging business, which reserves multiple hotel rooms for global airlines’ crews and disrupted passengers every year. Levarti’s MAX mobile appsoffer passengers an end-to-end digital experience from check-in, on-flight contactless payments, baggage tracking and claims.
The 2021 acquisition of Associated Foreign Exchange boosts the company’s revenues in its corporate payments business.
FLEETCOR has a track record of returning value to shareholders through share repurchases. In 2021, 2020 and 2019, it repurchased shares worth $1.4 billion, $849.9 million and $694.9 million, respectively.
Some Risks
FLEETCOR has more long-term debt outstanding than cash. Cash and cash equivalent balance at the end of first-quarter 2022 was $2.1 billion compared with long-term debt level of $4.4 billion.
The stock has deppreciated 19.3% over the past year compared with 34.6% decline of the industry it belongs to.
Cross Country Healthcare has an expected earnings growth rate of 49.4% for the current year. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 29.2%, on average.
CCRN has a long-term earnings growth rate of 6.9%. Shares have surged 4.3% in the past year.
Gartner’s shares have surged 6.4% in the past year. The company delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 24.2%, on average.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IT’s earnings in the current year has moved up 8.6% in the past 30 days.
