Earnings Surprise Prediction - The Zacks Earnings ESP model indicates that the Most Accurate Estimate for World Kinect is lower than the consensus estimate, resulting in an Earnings ESP of -4.83% [12]. - The stock currently holds a Zacks Rank of 5, suggesting a strong sell, which complicates the prediction of an earnings beat [12]. Historical Performance - In the last reported quarter, World Kinect had an earnings surprise of +6.67%, reporting $0.48 per share against an expectation of $0.45 [13]. - Over the past four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates twice [14].
