Sitel Expects to Miss Analysts Expectations

Telemarketer Sitel Corp., based in Baltimore, said it would fall short of Wall Street analysts’ expectations for the third and fourth quarters because of lower-than-expected European revenues, particularly in the U.K. and Spain, according to Reuters.

Sitel said in a statement it expects its third-quarter earnings per share will fall by 1 to 2 cents below analysts’ expectations of 6 cents per share. It said its fourth-quarter profit would be about 3 to 5 cents per share below the consensus forecast of 10 cents per share.
