Corpay’s Q4 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is kept at $1.2 billion, hinting at a 19.9% increase from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
For the Vehicle Payments segment, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is $566.5 million, suggesting a 13.8% year-over-year rise. This growth is likely to have been driven by multiple factors, including higher sales production, higher approval rates and strong retention in the United States.
Furthermore, 6% year-over-year tag growth, improvements in the extended network in Brazil, and strong sales across the U.K., Europe, Australia and New Zealand are expected to have fueled this segment’s growth as well.
The consensus mark for revenues from Corporate Payments is pegged at $475.8 million, increasing 37.4% from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Growth in spend volumes is anticipated to have aided this segment.
Also, we expect the payable business to perform well on the back of Paymerang synergies and solid momentum in incorporating and boosting new full AP customers. On the Lodging Payments front, the consensus estimate for revenues is pinned at $119.8 million, implying a marginal year-over-year dip.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Other Payments revenues is set at $79.4 million, indicating 13.9% growth from the year-ago quarter’s actual. A surge in the gift business is anticipated to have improved this segment’s revenues.
The consensus estimate for the bottom line is pegged at $5.95 per share, suggesting 11% year-over-year growth.
