IN THE SPOTLIGHT: BLACKROCK, DELTA AIR LINES

BLACKROCK: The world’s largest asset manager is expected to report its third-quarter earnings of $9.70 per share on Wednesday, which represents year-on-year growth of over 5% from $9.22 per share seen in the same period a year ago.

The New York-based multinational investment management corporation would post revenue growth of over 13% to around $5.0 billion. In the last four consecutive quarters, on average, the investment manager has delivered an earnings surprise of over 9%.

“We believe BlackRock (BLK) is best positioned on the asset mgmt barbell given leading iShares ETF platform, multi-asset & alts combined with technology/Aladdin offerings that should drive ~13% EPS CAGR (2020-23e) via ~6% avg LT organic growth,” noted Michael Cyprys, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

“We see further growth ahead for Alts, iShares, international penetration, and the institutional market in the US. Recently acquired Aperio also bolsters solutions offering and organic growth. We expect the premium to widen as BLK takes share in evolving industry and executes on improving organic revenue growth trajectory.”

DELTA AIR LINES: The earnings per share (EPS) is expected to swing back to positive territory for the first time in seven quarters on Wednesday, more than doubling to $0.16 per share compared to a huge loss of -$3.30 per share seen in the same period a year ago.

The Airline company, which provides scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo throughout the United States and across the world, is forecast to report revenue growth of over 170% in the third quarter to around $8.4 billion. It is worth noting that in the last two years, the airline has beaten consensus earnings estimates just three times.

“Airlines will report 3Q21 results later this month, beginning Oct 13 with Delta Air Lines’ release. We believe 3Q21 started strong, sagged in the middle and then finished strong as people started planning holiday trips,” noted Helane Becker, equity analyst at Cowen.

“We believe 4Q21 guidance will reflect a strong peak, likely >2019 levels while off-peak is likely to lag 2019 levels. Stocks to own include United Airlines (UAL), Alaska Air Group (ALK), Allegiant Travel (ALGT) & Southwest Airlines (LUV).”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: UNITEDHEALTH, DOMINO’S PIZZA

UNITEDHEALTH: Minnesota-based health insurer is expected to report its third-quarter earnings of $4.41 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 25% from $3.51 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.

In the last four consecutive quarters, on average, the company has delivered an earnings surprise of over 11%. The largest insurance company by Net Premiums would post revenue growth of about 10% to around $72.0 billion.

UnitedHealth Group is the number one Medicare Advantage player with ~28% market share, the number two Medicare PDP player with ~20% market share, and the number two commercial player with ~15% market share,” noted Ricky Goldwasser, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

United’s model is enhanced via vertical integration with its OptumRx PBM platform, which is one of the three largest PBMs in the country. With a large lead in the breadth of services offerings and considerable exposure to government businesses, UnitedHealth is well-positioned for any potential changes in the US healthcare system. A strong balance sheet and continued solid cash generation give flexibility for continued M&A.”

DOMINO’S: The world’s largest pizza company is expected to report its third-quarter earnings of $3.11 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of about 25% from $2.49 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.

The company has beaten consensus earnings per share (EPS) estimates only twice in the last four quarters. The largest pizza chain in the world would post revenue growth of about 7% to around $1.03 billion.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: GOLDMAN SACHS

The New York-based leading global investment bank is expected to report its third-quarter earnings of $10.11 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 4% from $9.68 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.

It is worth noting that in the last two years, the world’s leading investment manager has surpassed market consensus expectations for profit and revenue most of the time. The world’s leading investment manager would post revenue growth of over 4% to around $11.25 billion.

“Reason to Buy: Organic growth, solid capital position and steady capital deployment activities continue to enhance Goldman’s prospects. Business diversification offers long-term earnings stability,” noted analysts at ZACKS Research.

“Reason to Sell: Geopolitical concerns and volatile client-activity levels may hinder the top-line growth of Goldman. Further, legal hassles and higher dependence on overseas revenues remain other headwinds.”
