Machinery Stocks Earnings to Watch on Jul 28: FLS, PNR & More
Read MoreHide Full Article
This is an eventful, decisive week for the season, with almost 1000 companies releasing their numbers. With macroeconomic conditions still soft, earnings growth is projected to be negative for 9 of the 16 Zacks sectors (as of Jul 22). This shows that the weakness is quite broad-based, though the energy sector still remains the biggest drag. Further, growth for the benchmark S&P 500 index is on track to be in the red for the fifth quarter in a row.
As of Jun 22, we had results from 126 S&P 500 members, of which about 70.6% have posted earnings beats and 55.6% trumped top line estimates.
On the whole, our latest data projects that earnings for S&P 500 companies are now on track to decline 3.4% from the year-ago period, on 0.5% lower revenues. This is comparable to a decline of 6.2% expected a little over a fortnight ago. This change hints toward some tell-tale signs of improvement in the overall earnings picture, which still appears bleak. (Read more: Decisive Week for the Q2 Earnings Season)
The industrial products sector is one of those sectors which are expected to chart negative earnings growth this quarter. Its earnings are on track to contract 8% in the quarter, on 5.8% lower sales compared with the last year.
Let’s have a look at how some machinery players within the sector, like Pentair plc (PNR - Free Report) , Flowserve Corp. (FLS - Free Report) , Columbus McKinnon Corporation (CMCO - Free Report) , Chart Industries Inc. (GTLS - Free Report) and Colfax Corporation , are poised ahead of their scheduled announcements tomorrow.

Flowserve: Flowserve is a leading manufacturer and aftermarket service provider of comprehensive flow control systems, globally.The company develops and manufactures precision-engineered flow control equipment, such as pumps, valves and seals, for critical service applications that require high reliability.

Much of Flowserve’s recent lukewarm financial performance is largely attributable to the unfavorable macroeconomic conditions.
