Iron Mountain (IRM) To Report Q3 Earnings: What's In Store?
Zacks Investment Research | Oct 27, 2016 11:35PM ET
Iron Mountain Inc. (NYSE:IRM) , a leading provider of data protection and information management services, is set to release its third-quarter 2016 results on Nov 1. Last quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 11.32%. It has posted an average negative earnings surprise of 2.24% over the past four quarters.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors to Consider
Iron Mountain’s diversified revenue base remains a positive. In addition, a strong product portfolio, increasing market share, an aggressive acquisition strategy and a promising international business are the other growth catalysts.
In Aug 2016, the company announced the buyout of information management operations of Santa Fe Group A/S in 10 regions in both Europe and Asia. The deal values the operations at nearly $30.2 million. This apart, in the last quarter, the company had declared that the synergies from the Recall acquisition are being achieved faster than expected. Management said that it expects to achieve over 80% of the synergies expected from Recall by 2017, this year itself. It also reiterated its long-term goals. Moreover, the company’s entry into the data center market could be another growth driver.
This apart, a highly-leveraged balance sheet, volatile currency environment and competition from the likes of Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ:CTAS) and others remain overhangs.
