Read MoreHide Full Article
Carlisle Companies Incorporated (CSL - Free Report) reported decent second-quarter 2021 results wherein both the bottom line and the top line surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
The company’s adjusted earnings were $2.16 per share, beating the consensus estimate of $2.09 by 3.4%. The bottom line increased 34.2% on a year-over-year basis supported by higher sales and share repurchases, partially offset by higher corporate expense.
Carlisle Companies Incorporated Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the reported quarter, Carlisle’s revenues came in at $1,177.8 million, up 22% year over year. This increase was attributable to 20.7% rise in organic revenues, 0.4% benefit from acquired assets and a positive impact of 0.9% from changes in foreign exchange rates.
