The company beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.52%.
Despite the coronavirus-induced disruptions, AMETEK’s first-quarter results are expected to reflect positive contributions from acquisitions.
Acquisitions of Motec, Forza, Telular, Gatan, Intellipower and Spectro Scientific are likely to have driven the Electronic Instruments Group segment’s performance in the quarter to be reported. Further, the impacts ofa strong materials analysis business are anticipated toget reflected in the segment’s first-quarter sales.
Further, the Electromechanical Group segment’s sales are likely to have gained from the Pacific Design Technologies and FMH Aerospace buyouts in the to-be-reported quarter. Moreover, cost-mitigation strategies are anticipated to have aided the operation performance of the segment in the quarter under review.
