$KEX Kirby expects businesses to deliver 30%-40% earnings growth in 2024 Commenting on the 2024 full year outlook, David Grzebinski, Kirby's President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We ended 2023 in a position of strength in both of our segments. In marine transportation, barge utilization and customer demand remain strong, and rates continue to increase. In distribution and services, demand for our products and services remains strong, and we continue to receive new orders in manufacturing. Overall, we anticipate our businesses to deliver 30% to 40% earnings growth in 2024. Key risks putting us at the lower end of this range or below would be the impact from a recession or lingering inflation. Achieving the higher end of this range would be driven by stronger than expected chemical markets for marine and stronger than expected oil and gas markets for distribution and services."

$KEX Kirby reports Q4 EPS $1.04, consensus $1.03 Reports Q4 revenue $799.176M, consensus $778.24M. David Grzebinski, Kirby's President, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the fourth quarter, continued strong fundamentals in both our businesses resulted in significant year-over-year growth in our revenues and earnings. In marine transportation, pricing on spot and term contracts benefited from strong demand and limited availability of barges while the onset of winter weather conditions proved to be a headwind to efficiency in the quarter. Distribution and services delivered higher revenues sequentially, but margins were down slightly from the third quarter due to lower demand in our power rental business and typical seasonal slowness. We ended the year on a good note, and we anticipate strong growth in 2024."
