Moreover, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings has been revised 18.8% downward over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s examine the factors that are likely to have impacted the company’s March-quarter performance.
Euronav’s first-quarter performance is expected to have been affected by coronavirus-induced supply-chain disruptions. Notably, the coronavirus pandemic spelt doom for the shipping industry, which is responsible for transporting the majority of goods involved in world trade and is rightfully considered the life line of the global economy. Moreover, the adoption of IMO 2020 might have also adversely impacted the performance due to some short-term disturbance in the shipping network.
However, oil tanker rates are expected to have been high in the March quarter. The company's impending quarterly results might reflect this increase. The plunge in oil prices (down 66.5%) in the January-March period is a bonus and is likely to have supported the bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter.
