Auto Stocks' Q2 Earnings Slated on Aug 2: CMI, RACE, MOD
Read MoreHide Full Article
Nearly 63.4% of the S&P 500 members have reported results as of Jul 29, 2016. It is encouraging to note that so far the auto sector has been the second-best performer in terms of earnings among the 16 Zacks sectors. As of Jul 29, nearly 81.8% of the sector’s companies had reported results. These companies recorded 18.8% year-over-year growth in earnings and 5.8% in revenues, per our Earnings Trends report. In comparison, the 317 S&P 500 companies that had reported through Jul 29 posted a 3.3% decline in earnings and a 0.9% fall in revenues.
By the end of Q2, auto sector earnings and revenue growth is projected to be around 15.5% and 2.1%, respectively. Meanwhile, total S&P 500 earnings and revenues are expected to decline 3.4% and 0.4% year over year, respectively.
Revenues of auto companies are being driven by strong sales in major markets like the U.S., Europe and China, in the first half of 2016. Meanwhile, the bottom line is benefiting from an increase in the sales of higher margin vehicle segments, such as SUVs and light trucks, due to low fuel prices.
Nonetheless, the pressure to maintain the attractive incentives and deals may strain the margins for automakers. Sluggishness in some markets and expenses related to safety recalls are other hurdles. The negative impact of foreign currency translation also remains a headwind for the auto sector.
So, let’s see what awaits these three auto stocks that are queued up for earnings releases on Aug 2.
Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Earnings ESP for the company is currently pegged at -1.86% because the Most Accurate estimate is $2.11, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate is $2.15.
