Electrical Stocks Queued for Earnings on Nov 2: RXN & FLOW

Read MoreHide Full Article

We are in the second half of the third-quarter earnings reporting cycle with more than 291 S&P 500 companies having already reported results till Oct 28. We notice that results in the third quarter have improved remarkably from the preceding quarters and would likely end up being in the optimistic territory after five repeated seasons of earnings decline for the benchmark index.

According to the Zacks Industry classification, electric stocks are broadly grouped under Industrial Products, one of the 16 Zacks sectors.

Our latest Earnings Preview article (released on Oct 28, 2016) reveals that roughly 65.2% of the Industrial stocks in the S&P 500 Group have reported results for the July-September quarter, recording 2.6% rise in earnings and 4.9% fall in revenues on a year-over-year basis (y-o-y). We predict that earnings of all the industrial stocks in the S&P 500 Group will increase 5.9% year over year. However, revenues are expected to inch down 0.7% over the same time frame.

What’s in Store for these 2 Electric Behemoths?

Rexnord Corporation is slated to report its second-quarter fiscal 2017 (ended Sep 30 2016) after the market opens.

The company’s average positive earnings surprise over the last four quarters is 7.10%. However, our proven model does not conclusively show that the company is likely to beat on earnings in the to-be-reported quarter. This is because the stock carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% (as the Most Accurate Estimate of 38 cents is in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate).

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the stock is pegged at 38 cents over the last seven days.
