Ardmore Shipping Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Against this backdrop, let us take a look at the factors that might have shaped the company’s December-quarter performance.
We expect Ardmore Shipping’s results to reflect the bearishness surrounding the tanker market, as tanker rates are currently not at healthy levels. The slowdown in global economic growth has hurt shipping rates.
Tanker rates have been hit by an oversupply of vessels and subdued demand. Slow demand growth has put downward pressure on freight rates.
Time Charter Equivalent or TCE rates, which represent net revenues (revenues less voyage expenses) divided by revenue days, are likely to have declined in the to-be-reported quarter due to unfavorable spot rates. Moreover, costs are likely to have been steep due to a rise in oil prices, which were up 5.2% in the October- December period.
What Does the Zacks Model Predict About ASC?
The proven Zacks model does not predict an earnings beat for ASC this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of beating estimates, which is not the case here.
