Read MoreHide Full Article

Ingersoll Rand Inc. (IR - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter 2022 results on Feb 20, after market close.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fourth-quarter earnings has been revised upward by a penny in the past 60 days. Also, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 7.8%.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for Ingersoll Rand this earnings season.

Factors to Note

Strength in Ingersoll Rand’s food, life science, water and clean energy businesses are expected to have driven its performance in the fourth quarter. Its solid product portfolio, innovation capabilities and focus on boosting aftermarket businesses is expected to have been beneficial in the to-be-reported quarter.

Robust product portfolio of compressors, industrial vacuum and blowers, power tools and lifting as well as others are likely to have benefited IR’s Industrial Technologies & Services segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the Industrial Technologies & Services segment indicates a 5.5% rise from the year-ago reported quarter. For the fourth quarter, we expect the segment’s revenues to increase 3.2% year over year.

For the Precision & Science Technologies segment, strong momentum in the air dimensions business is expected to have been beneficial in the fourth quarter. The consensus mark for fourth-quarter Precision & Science Technologies segment revenues suggests a 9.7% increase from the year-ago reported number. For the quarter, we expect the Precision & Science Technologies segment revenues to climb 8.9% year over year.

The acquisition of Dosatron International in October 2022 is expected to have boosted Ingersoll Rand’s top line in the fourth quarter.

However, IR’s fourth-quarter performance is expected to have been hampered by increasing costs of sales, rising selling and administrative expenses and supply-chain disruptions. Adverse foreign currency movements are expected to have impacted the company’s overseas business revenues.
