The market expects DHL Group Sponsored ADR (DHLGY) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.51 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +24.4%. Revenues are expected to be $24.06 billion, up 6.9% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core. The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong...

Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Matson (MATX) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

Expects 2Q26 consolidated operating income to be $153.0 to $160.0 million Expects 2Q26 net income and diluted EPS to be $124.8 to $130.3 million and $4.12 to $4.30, respectively Year-over-year increase in consolidated operating income driven primarily by higher contribution from China service Repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares in 2Q26 Announces second quarter earnings call date on August 3, 2026 HONOLULU, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATX) today announces preliminary second quarter financial results, provides a business update and announces that its second quarter earnings call will be held on August 3, 2026. Matt Cox, Matson's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Matson had a strong second quarter with momentum in our China service carrying over from the post-Lunar New Year period. Our CLX and MAX services saw higher-than-expected freight rates and demand across e-commerce, garments and e-goods against a backdrop of tighter supply conditions in the Transpacific tradelane. Looking ahead, we expect our China service to be at or near capacity through peak season, supported by current Transpacific market conditions and our expectation of continued solid U.S. consumer demand." Mr. Cox added, "In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we saw lower year-over-year volumes in Hawaii and Alaska and higher year-over-year volume in Guam. In Logistics, operating income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher contributions from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a lower contribution from warehousing. As a result, for the second quarter 2026, we expect consolidated operating income to be $153.0 to $160.0 million. We also expect second quarter 2026 net income and diluted EPS to be $124.8 to $130.3 million and $4.12 to $4.30, respectively." Second Quarter Ocean Transportation Tradelane Volume (Forty-foot equivalent units (FEU)) (1)(2)(3): For the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 and on a FEU basis: Hawaii container volume decreased 1.1 percent primarily due to lower general demand; Alaska container volume decreased 2.3 percent primarily due to lower export seafood volume on AAX, partially offset by one additional northbound sailing; China container volume increased 15.2 percent primarily due to significantly higher deman...

Get insights on thousands of stocks from the global community of over 7 million individual investors at Simply Wall St. Matson (MATX) recently reported quarterly results where revenue declined year-on-year and came in below analyst expectations, while operating income exceeded estimates, helped by stronger post Lunar New Year freight demand on its China service. See our latest analysis for Matson. Since the earnings release, Matson’s share price has moved sharply higher, with a 34.86% 3 month share price return and a 63.24% year to date share price return, while the 5 year total shareholder return of 251.96% underscores how strongly the stock has rewarded long term holders.

This frames the recent rally in a different light. Read the complete narrative. Curious what sits behind that valuation gap?

Matson’s first quarter was marked by a challenging revenue environment, as sales missed Wall Street’s expectations and declined from the prior year. The market responded negatively, with management citing weaker volumes in Hawaii and Alaska and a lower contribution from the company’s China service as primary drivers of underperformance. CEO Matthew J. Cox pointed out that the logistics segment also experienced margin pressure due to softer supply chain management activity, while elevated fuel prices—stemming from the Iran conflict—began to weigh on costs late in the quarter. Despite these headwinds, Cox emphasized the resilience of Matson’s niche market positioning, noting, “Our focus remains on serving core markets where we are an integral part of the supply chain.” Is now the time to buy MATX?

Revenue: $757.8 million vs analyst estimates of $777.6 million (3.1% year-on-year decline, 2.5% miss) Adjusted EPS: $1.85 vs analyst estimates of $1.61 (15.1% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $113.3 million vs analyst estimates of $111.9 million (15% margin, 1.3% beat) Operating Margin: 7.7%, down from 10% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $5.53 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Jacob Gregory Lacks (Wolfe Research) asked about the likelihood of full ship utilization in peak season and the effect of high air freight costs on air-to-ocean conversions. CEO Matthew J. Cox stated that ships are expected to be full or nearly full, with air-to-ocean conversions acting as a tailwind, though not a major catalyst. Jacob Gregory Lacks (Wolfe Research) also inquired about the near-term headwind from fuel price lags. Cox and CFO Joel M. Wine explained that while Q2 will see margin pressure, full recovery is expected by year-end, and the lag is not central to their outlook. Analyst (Stephens Inc.) questioned changes in transshipment mix for the China service and optimism in specific regions. Cox responded that transshipment remains in the 20–25% range, with Southeast Asia’s contribution growing, and expressed optimism about customer shifts to new origin point...

Matson (MATX) has put capital returns back in focus after first quarter 2026 results, pairing a raised full year operating income outlook with a larger share repurchase authorization and ongoing dividend payments. See our latest analysis for Matson.

With the stock already up sharply and trading about 20% below the current analyst price target, the key question for you is whether Matson still trades at a discount or whether the recent rally already reflects future growth.

Result: Fair Value of $213 (UNDERVALUED) Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts. However, that gap can close or flip if muted freight activity lingers or if higher vessel and fleet costs squeeze the earnings power underpinning today’s valuation story.

Matson trades on a P/E of 12.8x, which is higher than the US Shipping industry at 8.7x, yet below the peer average of 17.1x and the fair ratio of 14.1x. In practice, that means the stock carries a richer price tag than the wider industry but still sits at a discount to both similar companies and where the fair ratio suggests the market could move.

Ocean Transportation outperformed expectations as post–Lunar New Year demand in the China service lifted results, while domestic volumes in Hawaii and Alaska were weaker and Logistics operating income declined, leaving consolidated operating income down year over year to $61.4 million in Q1. Management raised its outlook, saying Q2 consolidated and Ocean Transportation operating income should be about $20 million higher year over year and full-year results should “modestly exceed” 2025, but warned of a near-term hit from a timing lag in fuel surcharge recovery with most recovery expected in Q3 and full recovery by year-end. Matson generated strong cash flow (TTM $552.1 million) and returned $333.8 million to shareholders via dividends and repurchases, repurchasing ~400,000 shares in Q1 and adding 3 million shares to its buyback authorization while maintaining material vessel milestone and CapEx obligations covered largely by its Capital Construction Fund. Interested in Matson, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Big gains on the horizon for shipping stocks in Red Sea conflict? Matson (NYSE:MATX) executives said first-quarter 2026 results came in ahead of internal expectations in Ocean Transportation, driven by stronger-than-anticipated post–Lunar New Year demand in the company’s China service, while domestic volumes were softer and Logistics earnings declined year over year. Chairman and CEO Matt Cox said Ocean Transportation operating income “exceeded our expectations, primarily due to higher freight demand post-Lunar New Year in our China service.” He added that Matson saw “lower year-over-year volume in Hawaii and Alaska” in its domestic lanes, and that Logistics operating income fell largely because of “a lower contribution from supply chain management.” → Roblox Stock Slides to New Low as Safety Changes Weigh on Outlook Global Shipping Companies See Booming Business During Pandemic Cox also addressed geopolitical developments, stating that, “To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted our operating performance or service levels,” but has lifted fuel prices. He said Matson expects a near-term earnings impact from a timing lag in fuel surcharge recovery, with the recovery expected to catch up later in the year. In Hawaii, Matson reported first-quarter container volume declined 5.6% year over year, which Cox attributed to “lower general demand” and...

Image source: The Motley Fool. May 5, 2025 Chairman & Chief Executive Officer — Matthew J. Cox Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer — Joel M. Wine Matt Cox: Thanks, Justin, and thanks to those on the call. Starting on Slide 3. Our first quarter financial performance was as expected, with significantly higher year-over-year consolidated operating income. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by our China service, which benefited from the carryover of elevated freight rates from the fourth quarter of 2024, combined with healthy freight demand following the traditional post-Lunar New Year period. In our domestic trade lanes, we saw higher year-over-year volume in Hawaii and Alaska and a lower year-over-year volume in Guam. In logistics, our operating income was lower year-over-year, primarily due to a lower contribution from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a higher contribution from supply chain management. Looking ahead, we are lowering our 2025 outlook due to the significant uncertainty regarding tariffs and global trade, regulatory measures, the trajectory of the U.S. economy and other geopolitical factors. I will now go through the first quarter performance of our trade lanes, SSAT and logistics. So please turn to the next slide. Hawaii container volume for the first quarter increased 3.2% year-over-year due to the dry docking of a competitor's vessel. Excluding the volume related to the dry docking of competitor's vessel, Hawaii container volume would have been roughly flat year-over-year. For the full year 2025, we expect volume to be comparable to the level in 2024, reflecting modest economic growth in Hawaii and stable market share. Please turn to Slide 5. According to UHERO's February economic report, the Hawaii economy remained stable with a low unemployment rate, strong construction activity and stable tourism, offset by challenging population growth and high inflation and interest rates. Hawaii is experiencing solid construction activity from both public and private sector projects including rebuilding efforts on Maui following the wildfires in 2023 with elevated demand for construction workers. With respect to tourism, international tourist rivals continue to be well below pre-pandemic levels, and tourist arrivals to Maui remains on a slow recovery path. Moving to our China service on Sl...
