The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, the average beat being 33.3%. In the last reported quarter, its earnings of $2.86 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.83 by 1.1%. (Find the latest EPS estimates and surprises on Zacks Earnings Calendar.)
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Powell this earnings season.
Key Factors and Estimates for Q2
Solid momentum across the petrochemical and oil and gas markets is expected to have aided the company’s performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Also, growth in energy transition projects, such as biofuels, carbon capture and hydrogen, is likely to drive Powell’s results in the to-be-reported quarter.
Investment in POWL’s Houston facility, which expanded fabrication and integration support for its large power control rooms, is expected to bolster top-line results.
The company’s diversification efforts beyond its core oil, gas and petrochemical markets are likely to have aided its performance.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal second-quarter revenues is pegged at $277.3 million, indicating an increase of 8.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $3.34 per share, indicating a 21.5% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported number.
However, over time, Powell’s performance has been negatively impacted by high costs and expenses. An increase in raw material cost is likely to have been a spoilsport in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s international presence exposes it to the risk of adverse currency fluctuations, which are likely to have hurt its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for POWL 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.
Earnings ESP: Powell has an Earnings ESP of 0.00% as both the Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate are pegged at $3.34. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
