What Awaits North American Construction (NOA) in Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
North American Construction Group Ltd. or NACG (NOA - Free Report) , is scheduled to report first-quarter 2023 results on Apr 26, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, NOA’s earnings and revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 72.3% and 18.5%, respectively.
The company’s earnings topped the consensus mark in 9 of the 12 trailing quarters.
Trend in Estimate Revision
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share has increased to 60 cents from 55 cents in the past seven days. The estimated figure indicates a 50% rise from the year-ago quarter’s level of 40 cents. The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $166.89 million, suggesting 19.6% growth from the year-ago reported figure.
North American Construction Group Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
This premier provider of mining and heavy construction services is expected to have witnessed higher earnings and revenues in the first quarter of 2023. The company’s plans to integrate new technology into the equipment, focus on equipment utilization and all the correlated initiatives that support its heavy equipment fleet are likely to have added to its performance.
NACG expects a strong first quarter as inflation fluctuations have eased. It is likely to have benefited from high equipment demand and stronger-for-longer commodity markets.
This apart, the company’s prudent in-organic moves, like acquisitions and joint ventures and operational improvement strategies are likely to have offset the increased inflationary pressure and supply chain headwinds in the to-be-reported quarter.
What the Zacks Model Unveils
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for NACG this time around. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) for this to happen. This is not the case here, as elaborated below.
Earnings ESP: NACG has an Earnings ESP of -2.52%. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Zacks Rank: Currently, the company carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Stocks With the Favorable Combination
