Read MoreHide Full Article

Quarterly earnings of $2.88 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.76. The bottom line jumped 18.5% year over year, owing to strong trade volumes and container demand.
Total leasing revenues of $424.7 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $420.6 million. The top line increased 6.1% year over year, driven by a 95.6% year-over-year rise in revenues from finance leases. Revenues from operating leases (accounting for 93% of the top line) grew 2.6% year over year.
Triton International Limited Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Equipment trading revenues of $44.8 million rose 0.8% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The trading margin came in at $3.68 million compared with $9.16 million in the prior-year quarter.
Triton generated a return on equity (adjusted) of 27.5% in the reported quarter compared with 29.4% in the year-ago quarter. Total operating expenses increased 0.6% year over year to $191.6 million.

Outlook
Adjusted net income per share in the fourth quarter is anticipated to decline sequentially due to the decrease in the company’s utilization and used container sale prices from their latest extraordinarily high levels.
Delta AirLines’ (DAL - Free Report) third-quarter 2022 earnings (excluding 42 cents from non-recurring items) of $1.51 per share fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.56. Escalated operating expenses induced the earnings miss. Multiple flight cancelations and booking weaknesses due to Hurricane Ian also hurt results. DAL reported earnings of 30 cents per share a year ago, dull in comparison to the current scenario, as air-travel demand was not so buoyant then.
DAL reported revenues of $13,975 million, which lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14,157.2 million. Driven by the high air-travel demand, total revenues increased more than 52% on a year-over-year basis.
