Q1 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $936.3 million, indicating a 3.9% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Revenues are likely to have benefited from growth across the corporate and vehicle payments segments.
The corporate payments segment is likely to have benefitted from increased sales of the full suite of high-quality payment solutions to customers who seek to modernize their AP operations. Strengthening across Brazil and international fuel markets is likely to have benefitted the vehicle payments segment’s growth, aided by company’s EV strategy in the U.K. The lodging business is likely to have declined due to the unexpected lack of travel during holidays and a decrease in the overall insurance business.
The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at $4.1 per share, suggesting a 7.4% year-over-year rise. The bottom line is expected to have benefited from the decline in credit losses and increased margins across the Vehicle and Corporate Payments segments.
