Kirby Corp. Q4 Preview: Drill, Baby, Drill Seems Promising, But Early To Tell

Summary Kirby Corporation is expected to report flat y/y revenue growth and a 24% y/y increase in EPS, despite inflationary pressures and seasonal softness.

Kirby Up Strongly On A Multiyear Pricing And Margin Expansion Opportunity

Summary Kirby is leveraging stronger inland and coastal tank barge dynamics, as limited supply growth and increased petrochemical refining activity is driving higher utilization and pricing. Kirby should be set for multiple years of 300bp+ margin improvement on the back of tight inland and coastal barge fundamentals. Increased demand for backup power among industrial, retail, and data center customers is driving strong growth within the D&S business, but this remains a lower-margin segment relative to marine operations. Kirby shares have already enjoyed a big move, but past up-cycles suggest that there could still be upside. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
