Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI - Free Report) is a diversified specialty materials producer operating through two segments, High Performance Materials and Components, and Flat-Rolled Products.
Allegheny should benefit from its diversified global growth markets and cost reduction measures. The company is also seeing healthy demand from aerospace OEMs. However, Allegheny is exposed to certain challenges (including pricing pressure) in its Flat Rolled Products segment. Selling prices and demand for the company’s standard stainless products remain under pressure.
Let’s have a quick look at this Pennsylvania-based company’s second-quarter release.
Estimate Trend & Surprise History
Investors should note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Allegheny for the second quarter has narrowed from a loss of 40 cents to 39 cents per share over the past month. The company has beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters while missing in one.
Earnings
Allegheny’s adjusted loss was 21 cents per share for the quarter, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 39 cents.
Revenues
Allegheny reported revenues of $810.5 million, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $761 million.
Demand from aerospace and defense continue to drive Allegheny’s High Performance Materials & Components (“HPMC”) segment. Sales in the sector accounted for 51% of total sales in the second quarter. Segment results were negatively impacted by high production expenses caused by low operating rates at the Rowley, UT titanium sponge facility.
The Flat Rolled Products (“FRP”) segment still faces challenging market conditions, particularly in oil and gas markets. However, the segment saw sequential growth in quarterly sales by 18% and lower sequential quarterly losses. The previously announced idling of the GOES operations was completed in the quarter.
Zacks Rank
Currently, Allegheny has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), but that could change following the company’s earnings report which was just released.
Market Reaction
Allegheny’s shares were inactive following the release. It would be interesting to see how the market reacts to the results during the trading session today.
