Construction Stocks' Earnings on Oct 27: CBI, EME, TPH & SSD
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Q3 earnings season is in full swing, with results from 23.2% of the S&P 500 Index members already on board (as on Oct 21). These 116 members (accounting for 30% of the index’s total market capitalization) are up 3.3% on 1.8% higher revenues.
After five back-to-back quarters of earnings declines for the S&P 500 index, we are finally seeing a marginally positive overall growth trend for the index. On the whole, our latest data projects that the earnings for S&P 500 companies are now on track to grow 0.1% from the year-ago period. This is comparable to a decline of 2.9%, expected a few weeks ago.
Further, the encouraging growth angle is being supplemented by a higher number of positive surprises compared to the recent quarters. If this trend continues, it will likely paint a recovering growth picture for the times to come.
However, with macroeconomic conditions still soft, earnings growth is projected to be negative for seven of the 16 Zacks sectors. (For more details, read our Earnings Preview article).
The construction sector is one of the few bright spots in the dull picture. The sector is expecting solid growth this quarter, with earnings expected to improve 6.9% on 7.1% higher sales from the last year.
The Construction space has major players like Chicago Bridge & Iron Company N.V. , EMCOR Group Inc. (EME - Free Report) , TRI Pointe Group, Inc. (TPH - Free Report) and Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc. (SSD - Free Report) reporting numbers on Oct 27.
