Q3 Results
In the last reported quarter, Andersons reported year-over-year declines in revenues and earnings. The top and bottom lines missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Andersons’s earnings have missed the consensus estimate in one of the trailing four quarters, while beating in the other three quarters, the average surprise being 32.7%.
Factors to Note
The company’s Trade segment is expected to have benefited from the strong momentum in its merchandising businesses. Also, recent investments in food and pet food ingredients are likely to have contributed to the segment’s performance in the fourth quarter.
The Renewables segment’s results are expected to reflect strong ethanol crush margins in the quarter. Enhanced efficiency at its production facilities, with improved ethanol and corn oil yield, and lower costs are expected to have contributed to earnings. The merchandising businesses, including renewable diesel feedstocks, continue to deliver solid earnings on higher volumes and strong co-product values.
The Nutrient & Industrial segment’s results in the fourth quarter are likely to reflect the impacts of lower volume. However, the company’s expectation for the segment’s results remains solid, backed by higher demand for fertilizer and specialty liquid products.
