The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal third-quarter earnings has been revised upward by 1% in the past 60 days. The company has a stellar earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 9.1%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Parker-Hannifin’s fiscal third quarter.
Parker-Hannifin Corporation Price and EPS Surprise
Steady demand across end markets and higher orders are expected to have buoyed Parker-Hannifin’s fiscal third-quarter performance.
Broad-based growth in the North American region is expected to have boosted revenues in the Diversified Industrial segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Diversified Industrial North America revenues indicates an 8.2% rise from the year-ago reported number.
The Aerospace Systems segment is expected to generate significantly higher revenues on the back of the Meggitt acquisition (September 2022), which has expanded Parker-Hannifin’s presence in the UK, positioning it well to provide a broader suite of solutions for aircraft and aeroengine components and systems.
Robust original equipment manufacturer and Maintenance, Repair and Operations commercial activity is also expected to have aided the Aerospace Systems segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The consensus mark for Aerospace revenues in the fiscal third quarter shows a 78.6% jump from the year-ago reported number.
PH’s unique Win Strategy, which focuses on innovation, strategic positioning, distribution growth and incentive plan changes to drive organic growth, is expected to have supported its margin performance in the fiscal third quarter. Effective pricing actions are also likely to have aided margin performance.
However, the escalating cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses are likely to have dented Parker-Hannifin’s bottom line in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. The company’s realignment expenses also might have weighed on its bottom line.
Given PH’s substantial overseas business operations, foreign-exchange woes might have impacted its top-line performance.
