Let us delve deeper.
Key Factors & Estimates for Q2
Over time, Howmet Aerospace has been benefiting from solid product offerings, efforts to innovate and exposure in diverse end markets. Healthy demand for cleaner energy is believed to have benefitted its business in the industrial gas turbine market in the quarter under review. Growth in the commercial transportation market is likely to have been another tailwind.
On the flip side, the pandemic woes have been hurting the company’s aerospace operations for the past few quarters. The company’s commercial aerospace revenues declined 52% year over year in the first quarter, suffering from the pandemic-related restrictions and production issues of Boeing 787 and Boeing 737 MAX. Howmet Aerospace predicts a year-over-year decline in revenues from the commercial aerospace market.
Supply-chain issues related to shortages of parts (like semiconductors) are believed to have hurt operations in the commercial transportation market.
Howmet Aerospace follows effective pricing strategies and cost-control measures, which are likely to have aided its margins and profitability. The lowering of debts is believed to have reduced interest expenses.
For second-quarter 2021, the company expects revenues of $1.17-$1.23 billion, whereas it generated $1.3 billion in the year-ago quarter. Earnings for the quarter are expected to be 19-21 cents per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1,207 million for the second quarter of 2021, suggesting a 3.7% decrease from the year-ago quarter’s reported number and a 0.2% decline from the prior-quarter figure. Earnings estimates are pegged at 22 cents per share, indicating a decrease of 31.3% from the year-ago reported figure and no change from the previous quarter.
