However, the activities of the company during the third quarter seem inadequate to win analysts’ confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for NEWT’s third-quarter earnings of 65 cents has been unchanged over the past 30 days. The figure suggests a year-over-year rise of 16.1%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter sales of $21.87 million indicates an increase of 76.2% from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q3 Performance
In the third quarter, the central bank raised interest rates by 150 basis points, following a couple of interest rate hikes earlier during the year. Thus, supported by higher rates, NEWT is expected to have recorded an improvement in its total investment income in the to-be-reported quarter.
Overall expenses are likely to have been elevated mainly due to an increase in salaries and benefits costs, and professional fees.
