Will Segmental Performance Aid Astronics' (ATRO) Q1 Earnings?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Astronics Corporation (ATRO - Free Report) is slated to report its first-quarter 2023 results on May 9 before market open.
Astronics came up with a four-quarter average negative earnings surprise of 40.16%. The strong segmental performance is likely to be favorable to the company’s first-quarter results.
Aerospace
Improving domestic airline travel, increased airline spending and solid demand from the narrowbody and widebody regional market are likely to have driven the sales of the Aerospace business unit in the first quarter of 2023.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Aerospace’s first-quarter revenues, pegged at $127 million, suggests a growth rate of 25.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Test Systems
Higher bookings and major program wins may have aided the performance of the segment in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Test Systems’ first-quarter revenues, pegged at $15.52 million, indicates growth of 5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
First-quarter sales are likely to reflect a collective positive impact of ATRO’s segment results from solid program wins, ease in China’s traveling restrictions and solid demand. These may have boosted the overall top line. However, supply-chain challenges may have partially continued to put a dent on the top and bottom lines.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter sales is pegged at $142.5 million, indicating an increase of 22.7% from the prior-year reported figure. Anticipated overall growth in sales, along with a solid operating margin, is likely to have been instrumental to ATRO’s first-quarter bottom line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings is pegged at a loss of 8 cents per share. This suggests an improvement from the prior-year quarter’s loss of 38 cents.
