ROL’s earnings surprise history has not been impressive. Earnings lagged the Zacks Consensus Estimate in one of the trailing four quarters and matched thrice, with an average negative surprise of 0.8%%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $816.3 million, suggesting 8.3% growth on a year-over-year basis. Improved commercial, residential, and termite and ancillary services revenues are expected to have benefited the company’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter.
Our estimate for Residential revenues is pegged at $366.1 million, indicating 9% growth from the year-ago quarter. Commercial revenues are anticipated to increase 3% year over year to $269.5 million. We expect revenues from Termite Completions, Bait Monitoring & Renewals to be pegged at $163.3 million, suggesting 11% growth on a year-over-year basis. Franchise revenues are estimated at $4.3 million, up 5% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for adjusted EPS is pegged at 23 cents, implying an increase of 9.5% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. A rise in revenues across the segments and strong margins are anticipated to have benefited the bottom line.
