Rollins (ROL) to Post Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Rollins, Inc. ROL is scheduled to report first-quarter 2021 results on Apr 28, before the bell.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history. It surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters and missed the same in one, delivering an earnings surprise of 14.8%, on average.
Expectations This Time Around
Acquisitions, customer growth and pricing are likely to have driven the company’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter, offsetting impacts of coronavirus-led general reduction in demand for services. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $517.6 million, indicating 6.1% year-over-year growth.
The bottom line is likely to have been positively impacted by continued routing and scheduling efficiencies. With the consensus mark pegged at 11 cents, earnings are expected to increase 22.2% year over year.
