Eaton (ETN) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eaton Corporation (ETN - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter 2021 earnings on Nov 2, before market open. This power management company delivered an earnings surprise of 10.9% in the last four quarters, on average.
Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors at Play
Eaton’s third-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from lower shares outstanding than the last-year level. The rollout of vaccines and an improvement in end-market conditions are expected to have increased the demand for its products, and boosted earnings.
Eaton completed the acquisition of Cobham Mission Systems and a 50% stake in Jiangsu YiNeng Electric’s busway business in China in the second quarter. Synergies from these acquired assets are expected to have contributed to earnings in the third quarter. The company’s September-quarter numbers are also expected to have gained from cost-savings initiatives. The Hydraulics business sale is part of Eaton’s transformation process and is expected to have led to the generation of higher year-over-year earnings in the third quarter.
Expectations
Third-quarter earnings are expected in the range of $1.72-$1.82 per share. It now expects organic revenue growth in the range of 11-13%. The company anticipates positive currency translation to add 1% to third-quarter earnings. Segment operating margin is expected in the range of 19-19.4% for the quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.73 per share, indicating a 46.6% increase from the prior-year reported figure.
