Company Description
Bucyrus International is a manufacturer of high productivity mining equipment for the surface and underground mining industries.

Underground mining equipment is used for coal mining and mining minerals such as potash. The company also provides aftermarket services for its machines.
Bucyrus Surprised by 30.12% in the Second Quarter
On July 23, Bucyrus International reported second-quarter results which easily beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 25 cents. Earnings per share were $1.08 compared to the Zacks Consensus of 83 cents.
Sales rose 16.7% year over year to $724 million from $621 million in the year ago period. Both segments saw sales increases. Surface mining grew 8.1% year over year while Underground mining gained 16.7%. The increase in the Underground mining segment was mainly due to moderate increases in the longwall, room and pillar and belt systems product lines.
