The shipping company has a decent surprise record as its earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters (missing the same in the remaining one). The average beat is 14.70%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings has been revised 16.9% upward to $3.81 over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors that are likely to have impacted STNG’s September-quarter performance.
We expect Scorpio Tankers’ third-quarter bottom-line performance to have been hurt by higher vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increase in the average number of vessels in its fleet. High fuel costs are likely to have shot up total expenses.
However, with the gradual resumption of economic activities, the world trade gained pace and this should aid the third-quarter results of shipping stocks like Scorpio Tankers. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting a high proportion of goods involved in world trade.
Optimism surrounding the oil-tanker market owing to increased demand for oil is a huge positive for STNG and is likely to have boosted its top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
