Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
ALSN is set to report Q2 earnings on Aug. 4, with EPS and revenue estimates of $2.20 and $794.43M.
Robust Class 8 vocational vehicle demand likely supported ALSN's Q2 performance and 2025 outlook.
Rising R&D costs tied to electrified propulsion may pressure ALSN's Q2 profits and cash flow.
Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (ALSN - Free Report) is slated to release second-quarter 2025 results on Aug. 4, after the closing bell. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s sales and earnings is pegged at $794.43 million and $2.20 per share, respectively.
The bottom-line projection implies a year-over-year rise of 3.29%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Allison’s second-quarter earnings per share has moved down 2 cents in the past 30 days. Its top-line projection implies a year-over-year decline of 2.64%.
ALSN surpassed earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 8.68%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Allison reported adjusted earnings of $2.23 per share for first-quarter 2025, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.97 and rose 17% year over year. The company’s quarterly revenues of $766 million fell 3% from the year-ago period and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $775 million.
Factors at Play
Allison is seeing robust demand from the North America On-Highway end market, thanks to strong demand for Class 8 vocational vehicles. This segment drove strong revenue growth in 2024, and the company expects to build on this strength in 2025 as well. For 2025, the company expects adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.17-$1.23 billion, up from $1,165 million in 2024. It expects net income in the band of $735-$785 million, up from $731 million reported in 2024. Strong demand for Class 8 vocational vehicles is likely to have bolstered the company’s performance in the second quarter of 2025.
On the flip side, electrified propulsion initiatives are expected to flare up Allison’s spending levels, thereby clipping cash flows. In 2024, the firm’s R&D costs increased roughly 3% year over year, primarily driven by higher product initiatives spending. The company is expected to see rising R&D expenses this year as well to fund product development across all end markets. While rising R&D expenses will boost long-term prospects, they will put pressure on the company’s profits in the to-be-reported quarter.
