Zacks Investment Research· 2024-04-19 19:46
Core Viewpoint - Western Union is expected to report a decline in earnings and revenues for the first quarter of 2024, with earnings per share estimated at 40 cents, a 7% decrease from the previous year, and revenues projected at $1 billion, reflecting a 2.7% drop from the same quarter last year [2].

Group 2: Earnings Surprise History - Western Union's bottom line has beaten estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, with an average surprise of 20.11% [3]. Group 3: Revenue Factors - Revenues in the first quarter are expected to benefit from the strength of the digital business and a stable retail business, driven by favorable transaction trends [4]. - The APAC region is likely to have contributed positively to Western Union's digital business through new customer gains and solid digital conversion rates [4]. - However, revenues in the Consumer Money Transfer (CMT) segment are expected to decline due to weakness in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and North America, although this may be offset by growth in the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Latin America [4].

Group 5: Cost Management - Western Union's margins are likely to improve due to cost-curbing initiatives, with total operating costs expected to decline by 1% year over year in the first quarter [6]. Group 6: Earnings Prediction Model - The current model does not predict an earnings beat for Western Union, as the Earnings ESP is 0.00% and the Zacks Rank is 4 (Sell) [7][8].
