Key Factors to Consider

Higher volumes, backed by increased demand across all segments, particularly agriculture is expected to have contributed to Titan International’s first-quarter top line. The agricultural end market has been benefiting from solid customer demand spurred by the pick-up in farm income and higher agricultural commodity prices, which encouraged farmers to boost capital spending on agricultural equipment. The company’s pricing actions to mitigate rising raw material costs and other inflationary impacts in the markets, including freight, contributed to earnings. This, in turn, may have supported the company’s to-be-reported quarter’s margin.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Agricultural segment’s quarterly net sales for the quarter under review is currently pegged at $287 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 37%. The segment’s operating income is projected at $29 million, indicating a whopping surge of 520% from the prior-year quarter’s income of $4.68 million.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Earthmoving/Construction segment’s sales is pegged at $198 million for the quarter under review, suggesting an increase of 20% from the year-earlier quarter. Improvements in global economic conditions and recovery in construction markets are likely to have contributed to the segment’s top line. The segment is anticipated to report an operating income of around $12.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, suggesting a 119% increase from the last-year quarter’s figure of $5.6 million. Higher sales volume and improved production efficiencies, as a result of management actions taken in recent years, are likely to have driven the improved profitability.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net sales of the Consumer segment is pegged at $41.9 million compared with $30 million reported in the year-ago quarter. General market improvements, as well as increased pricing, are expected to have been instrumental in driving the segment’s sales. The segment’s operating profit stands at $3.6 million, higher than the $1.67 in the year-ago quarter.
