Read MoreHide Full Article

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (TDY - Free Report) is slated to report its second-quarter 2023 results on Jul 26 before market open.

Teledyne has a four-quarter earnings surprise of 4.57%, on average. Anticipated robust sales expansion throughout its business segment is likely to have positively impacted its overall performance in the second quarter of 2023.

Digital Imaging May Continue to Boost Sales

The higher sales of industrial and scientific vision systems and low-dose high-resolution digital X-ray detectors may result in elevated revenue numbers for the Digital Imaging segment in the second quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Digital Imaging segment’s revenues in the second quarter is pegged at $805.3 million. This indicates an improvement of 3.8% from the revenues reported in the year-ago quarter.

Instrumentation Segment Revenues to Remain Healthy

Instrumentation sales performance in the second quarter of 2023 is likely to have been boosted by enhanced revenues from the sale of electronic test and measurement instrumentation, marine instrumentation and environmental instrumentation.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Instrumentation segment’s revenues in the second quarter is pegged at $331.1 million. This calls for year-over-year growth of 6%.

Aerospace & Defense Electronics Revenues to Show Growth

Growth in the sale of defense and commercial aerospace products is likely to have benefited revenues from the Aerospace & Defense Electronics segment in the second quarter of 2023.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Aerospace and Defense Electronics’ revenues in the second quarter is pegged at $176.4 million. This suggests growth of 4.5% from the revenues reported in the year-ago quarter.

Engineered Systems Revenues to Remain Strong

The higher sales of energy systems and engineered products are likely to have contributed to Engineered Systems’ revenues.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Engineered Systems’ revenues in the second quarter is pegged at $103.9 million. This implies growth of 5.2% from the revenues reported in the year-ago quarter.

Projections Suggest Growth

Teledyne sells its products to the U.S. Government and other commercial customers. In this context, our model suggests revenue growth of 1.5% in the second quarter for sales to the government and an upward revision of 5.2% for sales to commercial customers.

Q2 Estimates

With all the segments of Teledyne expected to reflect a solid second-quarter top line, the company’s overall revenues should be favorable. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $1.42 billion, suggesting growth of 4.5% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Such a solid revenue growth expectation, along with a modest improvement observed in supply-chain challenges, must have contributed to the company’s overall bottom line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for TDY’s second-quarter earnings is pegged at $4.63 per share, indicating a 4.5% increase from the prior-year reported figure.
