World Kinect now projects full-year adjusted earnings between $3.20 and $3.40 per share, comfortably outpacing the $2.79 consensus estimate from FactSet analysts. This guidance shift stems from a robust quarterly performance that saw the company generate $48.4 million in profit, or 94 cents a share. The result marks a dramatic turnaround from the same period last year, when the firm recorded a $339.4 million loss largely tied to $398.6 million in asset and goodwill impairments.
