GATX has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters (missed once), the average beat being 17.3%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for GATX this earnings season.
Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2023 revenues is pegged at $374.4 million, indicating 16.63% growth year over year. The top line is likely to have been aided by a rise in lease revenues. Per our estimates, lease revenues are likely to have gained 14.3% year over year.
Rail North America revenues might have been aided by higher lease revenues and higher remarketing income. We predict Rail North America revenues to improve 47.7% year over year. Our model projects Rail International and Portfolio Management revenues to surge 66.7% and 63.4% year over year, respectively.
However, expenses are likely to have increased in third-quarter 2023. Per our estimate, the metric has jumped 23.6% year over year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2023 earnings is pegged at $1.53 per share, indicating 36.6% growth year over year.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for GATX this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
