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 17.7%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Xylem this earnings season.
Factors to Note
Escalating raw material, labor, freight and overhead costs are likely to have weighed on XYL’s second-quarter performance. Also, increasing selling, general and administrative expenses are expected to have hurt Xylem’s bottom line. Additionally, higher strategic investments are likely to have dented the company’s margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
Given the company’s substantial international presence, foreign-currency headwinds are likely to have weighed on its top line in the second quarter.
However, effective price realization and strength in both utility and industrial end markets within the Water Infrastructure segment are expected to have supported the company’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. For the second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Water Infrastructure segment’s revenues indicates a 7.8% increase from the year-ago reported figure.
The acquisition of Evoqua (May 2023), which bolstered Xylem’s position in water technologies, solutions and services, and strengthened its foothold in lucrative end markets, is likely to have aided the company’s performance in the second quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues suggests a 23% increase from the year-ago period. For the quarter, the consensus estimate for adjusted earnings indicates a 28.8% jump from the year-ago reported number.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for XYL this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat, which is not the case here, as elaborated below.
