The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s earnings and revenues is pegged at 79 cents per share and $329.4 million, respectively.
The earnings estimate for the to-be-reported quarter has declined 1.3% in the past 60 days. The bottom-line projection indicates year-over-year growth of 68.1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues indicates a year-over-year increase of 38%.
SBLK has a decent earnings surprise history, having surpassed the consensus estimate in two of the last four quarters, missing once and reporting in-line earnings in the remaining quarter. The average beat is 30.5%.
Against this backdrop, let’s check out the factors expected to have influenced Star Bulk’s June-quarter performance.
We expect vessel operating expenses to have been high in the to-be-reported quarter. This is likely to have dented SBLK’s bottom-line performance. Costs are most likely to have shot up due to elevated fuel expenses. Supply-chain disruptions are anticipated to have dampened this shipping company’s results.
However, continued fleet expansion (including cargo fleet) initiatives are likely to have driven the company’s performance. The positive sentiment surrounding the dry bulk market is also expected to have aided the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The Capesize market is very strong currently. This reflects strong demand for dry bulk commodities from not only China but also the rest of the world and bodes well for dry bulk shipping companies like SBLK.
