DLH Holdings Corp.
DLHC
is scheduled to report
first-quarter fiscal 2022 results
on Jan 31, after the bell. The company posted an earnings surprise of 25.71% in the last-reported quarter.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the past four quarters and missed the same once, delivering an earnings surprise of 14.1%, on average.
Expectations This Time Around
The consensus estimate for DLH’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $158 million, indicating more than 100% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The top line is expected to have benefited from the acquisition of Irving Burton Associates, new contract awards and increased volume on existing contracts.
The consensus mark for the bottom line stands at 48 cents per share, indicating 100% year-over-year growth. Strong operating performance is likely to have benefited the bottom line in the quarter.
