Q4 Expectations

Limbach Holdings’ top line in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have decreased, mainly due to continued softness in the General Contractor Relationships. The company’s continued focus on increasing the Owner Direct Relationships segment’s contribution to the business is likely to have partially offset the decline. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is currently pegged at $131.3 million, indicating an 8.5% decline from the year-ago actual figure.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the bottom line is pegged at 40 cents, 27.3% lower than the year-over-year figure. An increase in expenses is likely to have dented earnings in the quarter.
