Expectations This Time Around
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s revenues is pegged at $1.65 billion, indicating year-over-year growth of 1.5%. The expected increase is likely to be driven by organic growth in the company’s U.S. Technical Solutions business.

The consensus mark for earnings stands at 58 cents, indicatingyear-over-year growth of 1.8%. The bottom line is likely to benefit from adoption of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606 and higher margin revenue contribution from Technical Solutions segment.
In second-quarter fiscal 2019, adjusted earnings of 47 cents per share were flat year over year.
What Our Model Says
