How Will C.H. Robinson (CHRW) Fare This Earnings Season?

Zacks Equity Research
·4-min read

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc. CHRW is slated to release third-quarter 2020 earnings numbers on Oct 27, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter earnings has been revised upward by 6.4% in the last 60 days. Let’s take a look at the factors that are expected to have influenced the company’s performance in the quarter.

Weak freight-market conditions amid coronavirus concerns are likely to have affected volumes in the third quarter. Low truckload and less than truckload (“LTL”) volumes are expected to have hurt revenues at the North American Surface Transportation (“NAST”) division, the primary revenue generator. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter NAST revenues indicates a 2.2% dip from the year-ago reported number.

However, higher pricing in air, increased charter flights and larger shipment sizes might have driven revenues at the Global Forwarding unit, as was seen in the second quarter. The consensus mark for Global Forwarding revenues hints at a 12.7% increase from the third-quarter 2019’s reported number.

Additionally, cost-reduction initiatives are anticipated to have boosted C.H. Robinson’s bottom line in the third quarter. Moreover, the Prime Distribution Services acquisition, completed in March, and last year’s purchase of Dema Service and Space Cargo, are expected to have contributed to the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
