Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Industrials Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/algt#NASDAQ">ALGT</a>) recently reported disappointing traffic numbers for July 2024.&nbsp;
Scheduled traffic (measured in revenue passenger miles) fell 1.7% from the July 2023 levels. Capacity (measured in available seat miles) for scheduled service grew 2.4% year over year. As traffic failed to outpace capacity expansion, the load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) in July 2024 declined to 87.5% from 91.2% a year ago.
Total departures (scheduled services) improved 2.7% in July 2024 from a year ago. Moreover, its average stage length (miles) grew 0.3% year over year.
For the total system (including scheduled service and fixed fee contract), Allegiant carried 1.8% less passengers in July 2024 from the year-ago period. System-wide capacity expanded 3.2% in July 2024 on a year-over-year basis.
The fuel price per gallon in July 2024 is estimated to have been $2.84.

Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpa#NYSE">CPA</a>) reported solid traffic numbers for July 2024 on the back of upbeat air-travel demand. Driven by high passenger volumes, revenue passenger miles (a measure of traffic) rose in double digits in July on a year-over-year basis. To match the demand swell, CPA is increasing its capacity. In July, available seat miles (a measure of capacity) increased 11.3% year over year. Revenue passenger miles increased 9.5% year over year. Although traffic improved on a year-over-year basis, it failed to outpace capacity expansion. As a result, the load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) fell to 87.6% from 89% in July 2023.
Ryanair Holdings (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ryaay#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>), a European carrier, also reported solid traffic numbers for July 2024, driven by upbeat air-travel demand.
The number of passengers transported on Ryanair flights was 20.2 million in July 2024, reflecting an 8% year-over-year increase. RYAAY&#39;s traffic in July was much more than the June reading of 19.3 million, the May reading of 18.9 million, the April reading of 17.3 million and the March reading of 13.6 million.
The July load factor (percentage of seats filled by passengers) of 96% remained flat on a year-over-year basis. The figure was higher than the load factor of 95% reported in June as well as May, 92% reported in April 2024 and 93% reported in March 2024.
Notably, RYAAY operated more than 110,500 flights in July 2024.

Star Bulk Carriers&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sblk#NASDAQ">SBLK</a>) is scheduled to report&nbsp;second-quarter 2024&nbsp;results on Aug 7, after market close.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter&#39;s earnings and revenues is pegged at 79 cents per share and $329.4 million, respectively.
The earnings estimate for the to-be-reported quarter has declined 1.3% in the past 60 days. The bottom-line projection indicates year-over-year growth of 68.1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues indicates a year-over-year increase of 38%.
SBLK has a decent earnings surprise history, having surpassed the consensus estimate in two of the last four quarters, missing once and reporting in-line earnings in the remaining quarter. The average beat is 30.5%.

Against this backdrop, let&#39;s check out the factors expected to have influenced Star Bulk&#39;s June-quarter performance.
</div>
We expect vessel operating expenses to have been high in the to-be-reported quarter. This is likely to have dented SBLK&#39;s bottom-line performance. Costs are most likely to have shot up due to elevated fuel expenses. Supply-chain disruptions are anticipated to have dampened this shipping company&#39;s results.
However, continued fleet expansion (including cargo fleet) initiatives are likely to have driven the company&#39;s performance. The positive sentiment surrounding the dry bulk market is also expected to have aided the company&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The Capesize market is very strong currently. This reflects strong demand for dry bulk commodities from not only China but also the rest of the world and bodes well for dry bulk shipping companies like SBLK.
<h3>Earnings Whisper</h3>
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Star Bulk this time around. The combination of a positive&nbsp;Earnings ESP&nbsp;and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here.
Earnings ESP: Star Bulk has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
Zacks Rank: Star Bulk currently carries a Zacks Rank #3.
<h3>Stocks to Consider</h3>
Here are a few stocks from the broader Zacks&nbsp;Transportation&nbsp;sector that investors might want to consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to beat second-quarter 2024 earnings.
Copa Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpa#NYSE">CPA</a>) has an Earnings ESP of +1.55% and a Zacks Rank #3 at present. The company is scheduled to report second-quarter 2024 earnings on Aug 7.
CPA surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. The average beat is 20.19%.
C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/chrw#NASDAQ">CHRW</a>) currently has an Earnings ESP of +5.29% and a Zacks Rank #2.&nbsp;The company is scheduled to report second-quarter 2024 earnings on Jul 31.
CHRW surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the preceding four quarters and missed once. The average beat is 2.07%.

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Weigh In On 3 Industrials Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yields

Dorian LPG (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lpg#NYSE">LPG</a>) is set to report its first-quarter fiscal 2025 results&nbsp;on Thursday, Aug 1.
The company, which operates a fleet of very large gas carriers for transporting liquefied petroleum gases like propane and butane on long-haul voyages, mainly from the United States/ Middle East to Asia, has an impressive track record with respect to earnings per share, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters (missing the mark once). The average beat is 0.4%.
<div class="chart_embed">
<h3>Dorian LPG Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise</h3>

Dorian LPG Ltd. price-eps-surprise | Dorian LPG Ltd. Quote
</div>
Given this backdrop, let us unearth the factors likely to have influenced Dorian LPG&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
We expect LPG&#39;s fiscal first-quarter bottom-line performance to have been affected by higher vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased average number of vessels in its fleet. High fuel costs are likely to have shot up total expenses at LPG, currently carrying a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). Charter hire expenses for vessels time chartered-in from third parties are anticipated to have been higher in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from the year-ago quarter.
The increased demand for liquefied petroleum gases is likely to have aided the top line in the to-be-reported quarter. An increase in average time charter equivalent (TCE) rates and fleet size is expected to have aided revenues. TCE rates refer to a key measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel.
Highlights of Q4 Earnings
Dorian LPG&#39;s fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings (excluding 5 cents from non-recurring items) of $1.91 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.81. Total revenues of $141.4 million missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 9.8%.
Stocks to Consider
Here are a few stocks from the broader Zacks&nbsp;Transportation&nbsp;sector that investors may consider, as our model shows that these have the right combination of elements to beat on earnings this season.
Copa Holdings&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpa#NYSE">CPA</a>) has an Earnings ESP of +1.55% and carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.
CPA will release results on Aug 7. Upbeat air-travel demand is likely to have aided the second-quarter performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CPA&#39;s second-quarter 2024 earnings has been revised downward by 18.9% in the past 60 days to $2.87 per share. CPA has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 20.2%.
Expeditors International of Washington&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expd#NYSE">EXPD</a>) currently has an Earnings ESP of +2.22% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). EXPD is scheduled to report second-quarter 2024 earnings on Aug 6. Lackluster volumes (with respect to air-freight tonnage and ocean containers) due to weakening demand and falling rates are likely to have hurt EXPD&#39;s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings has been revised 3.3% upward in the last 60 days. EXPD surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings in only one of the preceding four quarters and missed thrice, the average negative earnings surprise being 3.4%.

Will High Expenses Hurt Dorian LPG's Q1 Earnings?

Copa Holdings Reports June Load Factor Of 86.6%, Down 0.2% Y/Y; Traffic Up 12.1%

Quarterly financial reports play a vital role on Wall Street, as they help investors see how a company has performed and what might be coming down the road in the near-term. And out of all of the metrics and results to consider, earnings is one of the most important.
We know earnings results are vital, but how a company performs compared to bottom line expectations can be even more important when it comes to stock prices, especially in the near-term. This means that investors might want to take advantage of these earnings surprises.
Hunting for &#39;earnings whispers&#39; or companies poised to beat their quarterly earnings estimates is a somewhat common practice. But that doesn&#39;t make it easy. One way that has been proven to work is by using the Zacks Earnings ESP tool.
The Zacks Earnings ESP, Explained
The Zacks Earnings ESP is more formally known as the Expected Surprise Prediction, and it aims to grab the inside track on the latest analyst estimate revisions ahead of a company&#39;s report. The idea is relatively intuitive as a newer projection might be based on more complete information.
The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction. The Zacks Rank is also factored into the ESP metric to better help find companies that appear poised to top their next bottom-line consensus estimate, which will hopefully help lift the stock price.
In fact, when we combined a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better and a positive Earnings ESP, stocks produced a positive surprise 70% of the time. Perhaps most importantly, using these parameters has helped produce 28.3% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Stocks with a ranking of #3 (Hold), or 60% of all stocks covered by the Zacks Rank, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with rankings of #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy), or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market; Strong Buy stocks should outperform more than any other rank.
Should You Consider Copa Holdings?
The last thing we will do today, now that we have a grasp on the ESP and how powerful of a tool it can be, is to quickly look at a qualifying stock. Copa Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpa#NYSE">CPA</a>) holds a #2 (Buy) at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $3.07 a share 28 days away from its upcoming earnings release on August 7, 2024.
Copa Holdings&#39; Earnings ESP sits at +3.01%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the $3.07 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.98. CPA is also part of a large group of stocks that boast a positive ESP.
CPA is part of a big group of Transportation stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at Kirby (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kex#NYSE">KEX</a>) as well.
Kirby is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on August 1, 2024. KEX&#39;s Most Accurate Estimate sits at $1.42 a share 22 days from its next earnings release.
For Kirby, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.32 is +7.58%.
CPA and KEX&#39;s positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon.

Why Investors Need to Take Advantage of These 2 Transportation Stocks Now

Quarterly financial reports play a vital role on Wall Street, as they help investors see how a company has performed and what might be coming down the road in the near-term. And out of all of the metrics and results to consider, earnings is one of the most important.
We know earnings results are vital, but how a company performs compared to bottom line expectations can be even more important when it comes to stock prices, especially in the near-term. This means that investors might want to take advantage of these earnings surprises.
The ability to identify stocks that are likely to top quarterly earnings expectations can be profitable, but it&#39;s no simple task. Here at Zacks, our Earnings ESP filter helps make things easier.
The Zacks Earnings ESP, Explained
The Zacks Earnings ESP, or Expected Surprise Prediction, aims to find earnings surprises by focusing on the most recent analyst revisions. The basic premise is that if an analyst reevaluates their earnings estimate ahead of an earnings release, it means they likely have new information that could possibly be more accurate.
Now that we understand the basic idea, let&#39;s look at how the Expected Surprise Prediction works. The ESP is calculated by comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with the percentage difference between the two giving us the Zacks ESP figure.
When we join a positive earnings ESP with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or stronger, stocks posted a positive bottom-line surprise 70% of the time. Plus, this system saw investors produce roughly 28% annual returns on average, according to our 10 year backtest.
Stocks with a ranking of #3 (Hold), or 60% of all stocks covered by the Zacks Rank, are expected to perform in-line with the broader market. Stocks with rankings of #2 (Buy) and #1 (Strong Buy), or the top 15% and top 5% of stocks, respectively, should outperform the market; Strong Buy stocks should outperform more than any other rank.
Should You Consider FedEx?
The last thing we will do today, now that we have a grasp on the ESP and how powerful of a tool it can be, is to quickly look at a qualifying stock. FedEx (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fdx#NYSE">FDX</a>) holds a #3 (Hold) at the moment and its Most Accurate Estimate comes in at $5.40 a share 26 days away from its upcoming earnings release on June 25, 2024.
By taking the percentage difference between the $5.40 Most Accurate Estimate and the $5.31 Zacks Consensus Estimate, FedEx has an Earnings ESP of +1.65%. Investors should also know that FDX is one of a large group of stocks with positive ESPs.
FDX is one of just a large database of Transportation stocks with positive ESPs. Another solid-looking stock is Copa Holdings (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpa#NYSE">CPA</a>).
Copa Holdings is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, and is getting ready to report earnings on August 14, 2024. CPA&#39;s Most Accurate Estimate sits at $3.56 a share 76 days from its next earnings release.
For Copa Holdings, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.54 is +0.34%.
FDX and CPA&#39;s positive ESP metrics may signal that a positive earnings surprise for both stocks is on the horizon.
