The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share has remained stable at $2.43 over the past 60 days.

Against this backdrop, let’s delve into the factors that might have impacted Teekay Tankers’ September-quarter performance.

The company’s performance is expected to have been affected by supply-chain disruptions. High operating expenses due to the increased average number of vessels in its fleet are likely to have hurt the bottom line. Steep fuel costs are likely to have flared up total expenses.

However, favorable tanker rates are expected to have aided the top-line performance. Moreover, with the normalization of economic activities, world trade gained pace, which should aid third-quarter results of shipping stocks like Teekay Tankers. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting several goods involved in world trade.
