2Q26 EPS of $4.27 versus $2.92 in 2Q25 2Q26 Net Income of $129.4 million versus $94.7 million in 2Q25 2Q26 Consolidated Operating Income of $158.9 million versus $113.0 million in 2Q25 2Q26 EBITDA of $211.0 million versus $163.6 million in 2Q25 Repurchased approximately 0.3 million shares in 2Q26 Raises full year outlook , /PRNewswire/ -- Matson, Inc. ("Matson" or the "Company") (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today reported net income of $129.4 million, or $4.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.  Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was $94.7 million, or $2.92 per diluted share.  Consolidated revenue for the second quarter 2026 was $969.4 million, compared with $830.5 million for the second quarter 2025.

Matt Cox, Matson's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Matson had a strong second quarter with momentum in our China service carrying over from the post-Lunar New Year period.  Our CLX and MAX services saw higher-than-expected freight rates and demand across e-commerce, garments and e-goods against a backdrop of tighter supply conditions in the Transpacific tradelane." 

Mr. Cox added, "In our domestic ocean tradelanes, we saw lower year-over-year volumes in Hawaii and Alaska and higher year-over-year volume in Guam.  In Logistics, operating income increased year-over-year primarily due to higher contributions from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a lower contribution from warehousing."

"Looking ahead, we expect our China service to be at or near capacity through peak season. For the fourth quarter 2026, we expect demand to reflect a more traditional seasonality pattern compared to the elevated period of freight demand experienced in the Transpacific market in the fourth quarter 2025 following the U.S.-China trade and economic agreement announced on October 30, 2025.  To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted the Company's operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all of the Company's markets.  We continue to expect to fully recover our fuel costs by the end of the year.  As a result, we expect Ocean Transportation operating income in the third quarter 2026 to be approximately 45 percent higher than the level achieved in the year ago period.  We also expect Ocean Transportation operating income in the fourth quarter 2026 to be modestly lower than the level achieved last year.  For Logistics, we expect operating income in the third and fourth quarters 2026 to be modestly higher than the levels achieved last year.  For full year 2026, we expect consolidated operating income to be higher than the level achieved in full year 2025 based on our expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane."

Second Quarter 2026 Discussion and Outlook for 2026

Ocean Transportation:  The Company's container volume in the Hawaii service in the second quarter 2026 was 1.1 percent lower year-over-year primarily due to lower general demand.  Hawaii's economy remains stable, supported by strong construction activity and modest growth in tourist arrivals, but continues to face headwinds from higher energy-related inflation.  The Company expects volume in full year 2026 to approach the level achieved in 2025, based on the Company's expectation of similar economic conditions and stable market share.

In the China service, the Company's container volume in the second quarter 2026 increased 15.2 percent year-over-year primarily due to significantly higher demand compared to the prior year period, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025.  In the second quarter 2026, momentum in the China service carried over from the post-Lunar New Year period, and the Company's CLX and MAX services saw higher-than-expected freight rates and demand across e-commerce, garments and e-goods against a backdrop of tighter supply conditions in the Transpacific tradelane.  The Company expects its China service to be at or near capacity through peak season.  For the fourth quarter 2026, the Company expects demand to reflect a more traditional seasonality pattern compared to the elevated period of freight demand experienced in the Transpacific market in the fourth quarter 2025 following the U.S.-China trade and economic agreement announced on October 30, 2025.  As such, the Company expects volume in full year 2026 to be higher than the level achieved in 2025 based on the Company's expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.

In the Guam service, the Company's container volume in the second quarter 2026 increased 4.4 percent year-over-year.  In the near term, the Company expects Guam's economy to remain stable.  For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to be comparable to the level achieved last year.

In the Alaska service, the Company's container volume in the second quarter 2026 decreased 2.3 percent year-over-year primarily due to lower export seafood volume on AAX, partially offset by one additional northbound sailing.  In the near term, the Company expects Alaska's economy to remain stable supported by a low unemployment rate, steady job market and continued oil and gas exploration and production activity.  For full year 2026, the Company expects volume to approach the level achieved last year.

The contribution from the Company's SSAT joint venture investment was $4.8 million in the second quarter 2026, or $2.5 million lower than second quarter 2025.  The decrease was primarily due to lower lift volume and higher operating expenses.  For full year 2026, the Company expects the contribution from SSAT to be lower than the $32.5 million achieved in full year 2025.

Based on the outlook trends noted above, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income in the third quarter 2026 to be approximately 45 percent higher than the $147.4 million achieved in the third quarter 2025.  The Company also expects Ocean Transportation operating income in the fourth quarter 2026 to be modestly lower than the $136.0 million achieved in the fourth quarter 2025.  For full year 2026, the Company expects Ocean Transportation operating income to be higher than the $455.6 million achieved in full year 2025.

Logistics:  Operating income for the Company's Logistics segment was $14.9 million in the second quarter 2026, or $0.5 million higher compared to the level achieved in the second quarter 2025.  The increase was primarily due to higher contributions from freight forwarding and transportation brokerage, partially offset by a lower contribution from warehousing.  For the third and fourth quarters 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be modestly higher than the $13.6 million and $7.7 million achieved in the third and fourth quarters 2025, respectively.  For full year 2026, the Company expects Logistics operating income to be higher than the $44.2 million achieved in full year 2025.

Consolidated Operating Income:  To date, the Iran conflict has not impacted the Company's operating performance or service levels; however, it has impacted fuel prices in all of the Company's markets.  The Company continues to expect to fully recover fuel costs by the end of the year.  For the third quarter 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be approximately 45 percent higher than the level achieved in the third quarter 2025.  For full year 2026, the Company expects consolidated operating income to be higher than the level achieved in full year 2025 based on the Company's expectations of continued solid U.S. consumer demand and a stable trading environment in the Transpacific tradelane.

Depreciation and Amortization:  For full year 2026, the Company expects depreciation and amortization expense to be approximately $205 million, inclusive of dry-docking amortization of approximately $35 million.

Interest Income:  The Company expects interest income for the full year 2026 to be approximately $18 million.

Interest Expense, Net:  The Company expects interest expense, net for the full year 2026 to be approximately $6 million.

Other Income (Expense), Net:  The Company expects full year 2026 other income (expense), net to be approximately $7 million in income, which is attributable to the amortization of certain components of net periodic benefit costs or gains related to the Company's pension and post-retirement plans.

Income Taxes:  For the second quarter 2026, the Company's effective tax rate was 21.0 percent.  For the full year 2026, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 21.0 percent.

Capital and Vessel Dry-docking Expenditures:  For the second quarter 2026, the Company made capital expenditure payments excluding vessel construction expenditures of $25.4 million, vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner's items) of $181.8 million, and dry-docking payments of $12.7 million.  For the full year 2026, the Company expects to make capital expenditure payments, including maintenance capital expenditures, of approximately $150 to $170 million, vessel construction expenditures (including capitalized interest and owner's items) of approximately $400 million, and dry-docking payments of approximately $45 million.

On a year-over-year FEU basis, Hawaii service container volume decreased 3.3 percent primarily due to lower general demand; Alaska service volume decreased 2.2 percent primarily due to lower general demand; China service volume increased 3.6 percent primarily due to significantly higher demand in the second quarter 2026 compared to the second quarter 2025, which included a market decline in Transpacific demand due to the tariffs imposed in April 2025; Guam service volume increased 2.3 percent; and Other containers volume decreased 7.7 percent.

Ocean Transportation operating income increased $26.4 million, or 15.3 percent, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2025.  The increase was primarily due to a higher contribution from the China service, partially offset by higher vessel operating expense primarily due to higher fuel-related costs.

The Company's SSAT terminal joint venture investment contributed $9.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $13.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.  The decrease was primarily due to lower lift volume.

Original source text
Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when Matson (MATX - Free Report) reports results for the quarter ended June 2026. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.

The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on August 3. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.

Zacks Consensus EstimateThis ocean transportation and logistics services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $3.74 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +28.1%.

Revenues are expected to be $906.81 million, up 9.2% from the year-ago quarter.

Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.

Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.

Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise

Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.

The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.

Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.

A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.

Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).

How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Matson?For Matson, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.

On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2.

So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Matson will beat the consensus EPS estimate.

Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.

For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Matson would post earnings of $1.65 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.85, delivering a surprise of +12.12%.

Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates two times.

Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.

That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.

Matson doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Expected Results of an Industry PlayerSchneider National (SNDR - Free Report) , another stock in the Zacks Transportation - Services industry, is expected to report earnings per share of $0.22 for the quarter ended June 2026. This estimate points to a year-over-year change of +4.8%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $1.51 billion, up 6.2% from the year-ago quarter.

The consensus EPS estimate for Schneider National has been revised 1.3% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.50%.

This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), suggests that Schneider National will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed EPS estimates just once.
