Q1 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.48 billion, which indicates a 3.5% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Expected growth is likely to have been driven by internal growth and new businesses, higher equity proxy activity and an increase in postage rate.

Our estimate for net revenues at Investor Communication Solutions is $1.06 billion, which suggests a 3.4% year-over-year increase. Our estimate for net revenues in the Global Technology and Operations segment is $415.1 million, which indicates a 3.1% year-over-year increase.

The consensus mark for earnings in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1 per share, which suggests a year-over-year decrease of 8.3%. We expect weak operating performance in the quarter, weighing the bottom line.
