What’s Making DCI an Attractive Investment Option for 2022?
Donaldson’s results in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 (ended Oct 31, 2021) were impressive, with earnings beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.91%.The bottom line expanded 27.1% from 48 cents reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 62 cents per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending January 2022) and 70 cents per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending April 2022).
Several factors are in favor of Donaldson’s prospects for fiscal 2022 (ending July 2022). Solid product offerings, healthy demand and exposure to the diversified end markets are boons for the company. Focus on innovation, the benefits from buyouts and shareholder-friendly policies also raise the stock’s attractiveness. The company acquired Solaris Biotechnology in November 2021. This buyout is predicted to boost DCI’s presence in life sciences, food and beverage and biopharma end markets.
Segmental growth prospects are healthy for Donaldson. A rise in equipment production and projects wins are predicted to favor the Off-Road business in fiscal 2022. Aftermarket businesses are anticipated to gain from the solid utilization rate of equipment and a rise in market penetration. Aerospace and defense businesses are also predicted to be healthy. These tailwinds, partially offset by weakness in the On-Road business, are likely to favor the Engine Products segment. Also, the Industrial Products segment is likely to benefit from growth in Gas Turbine Systems, Industrial Filtration Solutions and Special Applications.
