Will Segmental Sales Boost AAR Corp. (AIR) Q3 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
AAR Corp. (AIR - Free Report) is slated to report its third-quarter fiscal 2023 results on Mar 21 after market close.
AAR Corp. has a four-quarter earnings surprise of 3.17%, on average. Its sales across all business segments may continue to grow, benefiting the overall revenues of the company in the fiscal third quarter.
Aviation Services Boasts Strong Revenue Growth
The continuing recovery in commercial passenger air traffic is expected to have aided the top line of the Aviation Services segment in the fiscal third quarter. Improved value-added services to both commercial and government and defense customers are likely to have added impetus to its third-quarter revenues.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Aviation Services segment’s revenues in the fiscal third quarter is pegged at $460.4 million, indicating an improvement of 5.1% from the revenues reported in the year-ago quarter.
Expeditionary Services – a Contributor to Revenues
The higher volumes of mobility products are likely to have continued to grow in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Expeditionary Services segment’s revenues in the third quarter is pegged at $21.5 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 51.4%.
The strong revenue performance across both its segments makes us optimistic about AAR Corp.’s overall revenues in the fiscal third quarter. This, along with the full ramp-up of its new distribution agreements and the increased adoption of used serviceable materials, may have bolstered the top line of the company.
Also, strategies like cost discipline, a mix shift toward parts that boast the highest margin activity and outperformance on certain programs are expected to have aided the margins of the company, thus signifying a strong bottom line in the fiscal third quarter.
Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $481.8 million, suggesting growth of 6.6% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
