Eaton (ETN) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eaton Corporation (ETN - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2021 earnings on Feb 4, before market open. This power management company delivered an earnings surprise of 8.1% 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 fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have benefited from lower shares outstanding than the year-ago 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’s fourth-quarter performance is likely to have been impacted by the lingering supply constraints. Acquisitions & divestitures are likely to have had a negative impact on Eaton’s fourth-quarter earnings.
Expectations
Eaton expects fourth-quarter earnings in the range of $1.68-$1.78 per share. ETN now expects organic revenue growth in the range of 7-9%. Segment operating margin is expected in the range of 18.8-19.2% for the quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $1.72 per share, indicating a 34.4% increase from the prior-year reported figure.
