ABM Industries Inc.
ABM
is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Jun 8, after market close.
Let’s check out how things have shaped up for the announcement.
Q2 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2021 revenues is pegged at $1.50 billion, indicating 0.3% year-over-year growth. The expected upside can be attributed to huge demand for disinfection-related work orders and EnhancedClean services in the Business & Industry and Technology & Manufacturing segments.
The consensus mark for earnings stands at 75 cents per share, suggesting 25% growth year on year. The bottom line is likely to have benefited from higher margin improvement in Work Orders and EnhancedClean services as clients continue to incorporate disinfection into their operations. Persistent management of direct labor to align with the operating environment is also an added positive.
