Ingersoll Rand (IR) to Post Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?

Read MoreHide Full Article

Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2022 results on Aug 3, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for IR’s second-quarter earnings has been revised 1.9% downward in the past 60 days. However, Ingersoll Rand has an impressive surprise history, with its earnings having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average being 14.8%.

Let’s see how things are shaping up for IR this earnings season.

Factors to Note

Ingersoll Rand benefited from strength in its medical, YZ systems, Specialty and ARO businesses, and solid demand for its vacuum pumps, blowers and compressors in the second quarter. IR’s solid product portfolio, innovation capabilities and focus on boosting aftermarket businesses are likely to have augmented its top line in the to-be-reported quarter.

IR’s February 2022 acquisition of Houdstermaatschappij Jorc, which expanded its Industrial Technologies & Services segment’s product offerings, is expected to have contributed to top-line growth.

However, rising costs might have hurt Ingersoll Rand’s bottom line in the to-be-reported quarter. Inflationary pressures on logistics and direct material costs, ongoing growth investments and supply-chain disturbances might have stressed its margins in the second quarter. Unfavorable movements in foreign currencies are likely to have affected IR’s overseas business in second-quarter 2022.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ingersoll Rand’s revenues is pegged at $1,390 million for the second quarter, suggesting an 8.7% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. Earnings estimates are pegged at 49 cents, indicating an increase of 22.5% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
