Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
DXPE is set to report Q1 2026 results on May 6, with earnings expected to rise year over year.
DXP Enterprises' Service Centers growth is driven by large projects and strength in air compressors.
DXP Enterprises gains from acquisitions, but higher costs and forex may hurt margins.
DXP Enterprises, Inc. (DXPE - Free Report) is expected to release first-quarter 2026 results on May 6, 2026.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter earnings has remained steady in the past 30 days. The consensus estimate for earnings is currently pegged at 1.38 per share on revenues of $530 million.
The bottom-line projection indicates an increase of 9.5% from the year-ago number. Also, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues indicates a year-over-year increase of 11.2%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for DXP Enterprise this earnings season.
Factors to Note Ahead of DXPE’s Results
DXPE’s Service Centers segment is anticipated to have performed well in the first quarter, driven by growth in larger customer projects across the Ohio River Valley, Southwest, Texas Gulf Coast and California regions. Strength in the metalworking and air compressors division is also expected to augment the segment’s results.
The Innovative Pumping Solutions segment’s results are expected to benefit from the company’s continued diversification into water and wastewater end markets. Also, an increase in larger customer projects is expected to have acted as a tailwind for the segment.
Synergistic gains from the acquisitions made by DXPE are expected to have boosted its quarterly revenues. In December 2025, it acquired Pump Solutions, Inc. Also, in November 2025, DXP Enterprises acquired Triangle Pump & Equipment, Inc. Both acquisitions boosted the company’s water and wastewater end market and its product categories. In June 2025, it acquired Moores Pump & Services, Inc., which strengthened DXPE’s Rotating Equipment division.
Despite the positives, rising costs and expenses are likely to have weighed on DXP Enterprises’ performance. Rising selling and administrative expenses are expected to have dented the company’s margins and profitability.
The company has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given its substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for DXPE 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.
