Factors to Note

Titan Machinery’s Agriculture segment might have benefited from solid agriculture market fundamentals including higher farm income, improved corn and soybean prices in fourth-quarter fiscal 2021. Further, strong part and service performance has also been driving the segment’s revenues lately.

The Construction segment’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is likely to reflect strong demand for construction equipment due to the low interest rates scenario. In the International segment, revenues might show decreased customer demand on account of below average yields in certain areas and overall challenging economic and business conditions due to COVID-19

Overall stronger revenues, combined with the company’s continued success in controlling operating expense and reducing interest expenses will get reflected in the results of the quarter to be reported.
