However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings has been revised 31.5% downward to $3.51 over the past 60 days.
Against this backdrop, let’s delve into the factors that might have impacted Teekay Tankers’ December-quarter performance.
TNK’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, high tanker rates are likely to have aided the top-line performance. Moreover, with the gradual resumption of economic activities, world trade gained pace, which should aid the fourth-quarter results of shipping stocks like Teekay Tankers. This is because the shipping industry is responsible for transporting several goods involved in world trade.
