Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AL’s fourth-quarter 2024 earnings has remained stable at $1.17 in the past 90 days. The consensus mark implies a 38.1% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
Air Lease’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate in two of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 10.26%. However, the company missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the remaining two quarters.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Air Lease this earnings season.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Air Lease’s fourth-quarter 2024 revenues is pegged at $710.74 million, indicating a decline of 0.8% year over year.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for rental of flight equipment fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $662 million, indicating 2.7% growth from the year-ago reported figure. The uptick is likely to have been driven by growth in AL’s fleet. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for aircraft sales, trading activity and other sources’ fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $48 million, indicating a 33.3% decline from the year-ago reported figure.
On the flip side, production delays at Boeing have been hurting the fleet-related plans of AL. Rising operating expenses due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expenses and depreciation of flight equipment costs might have acted as headwinds for AL's bottom-line growth. Higher interest expense due to an increase in the composite cost of funds remains another concern.
