Allegiant (ALGT) to Report Q1 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?

Zacks Equity Research
·3-min read

Allegiant Travel Company ALGT is slated to report first-quarter 2020 financial numbers on May 12.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter 2020 has been revised downward to 58 cents per share from $4.34 in the past 60 days.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected on the upcoming quarterly results

Factors at Play

Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, lower passenger revenues are likely to have had a negative impact on the company’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for passenger revenues suggests a sequential decline of 7.7%. Load factor (% of seats filled by passengers) is also likely to have declined since fall in traffic demand is expected to have outweighed capacity contraction. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter revenues is pegged at 408.27 million, which indicates year-over-year decline of 9.6%.

Airline operating cost per available seat miles (CASM) excluding fuel is expected to have declined 2% from December end quarter.Further, lower fuel costs are likely to have supported the bottom line in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for expenses on aircraft fuel indicates a 13.5% fall from the figure reported in fourth-quarter 2019.
