Construction Stock Earnings on Jan 26: SHW, PHM and LYTS
Read MoreHide Full Article
At the very onset of the Q4 earnings season, 15.4% of the construction companies in the S&P 500 cohort have reported their quarterly numbers. According to the Zacks Earnings Preview report, 50% of the companies have surpassed earnings as well as revenue expectations. Total earnings at these construction companies increased 11.9% on 14.8% higher revenues.
As the U.S. homebuilding market staged a striking comeback in December, it is likely that the housing market may have contributed to economic growth in the fourth quarter. Positives like a healthier economy, improving employment levels, positive consumer confidence and a tight supply situation raise optimism about the sector’s performance in 2017.
So far, some of the leading companies in the construction sector have reported their Q4 results. D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI - Free Report) exhibited an impressive performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017, with earnings and revenues beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 17% and 6.8%, respectively. KB Home (KBH - Free Report) reported its fourth-quarter numbers wherein earnings surpassed analysts’ expectations by 8.1% and revenues by 2%. Lennar Corporation (LEN - Free Report) beat expectations on both the counts for the fourth time in a row in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2016.
Let us take a look at how these three construction companies are placed ahead of their earnings release on Jan 26.
The Sherwin-Williams Company (SHW - Free Report) , one of largest paint companies in the world, is scheduled to report fourth-quarter 2016 results, before the opening bell.
Last quarter, the company posted a negative earnings surprise of 2.5%. The company has surpassed estimates in two of the past four quarters and has an average positive surprise of 4.36%.
Currently, the company has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) and an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. Our proven model does not conclusively show that Sherwin-Williams is likely to beat on earnings this quarter.
