Lindsay (LNN) to Report Q1 Results: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Lindsay Corporation (LNN - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2022 (ended as of Nov 30, 2021) results on Jan 6, before the opening bell.
A Peek at Q4 Results
In the last reported quarter, Lindsay’s earnings and sales beat the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate. While the bottom line declined, the top line increased year over year. The company has a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 8.11%, on average.
Which Way are the Estimates Trending?
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Lindsay’s earnings per share is pegged at 79 cents for the fiscal first quarter, suggesting year-over-year growth of 61.2%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for total revenues is pinned at $143 million for the quarter, indicating a year-over-year increase of 32%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Key Factors to Consider
Increasing spending on agricultural equipment spurred by the pick-up in farm income and higher agricultural commodity prices will likely reflect on Lindsay’s fiscal first-quarter revenues.
Lindsay’s Infrastructure segment has been witnessing lower Road Zipper System sales owing to specific project delays. The timing of Road Zipper sales projects can be difficult to predict, particularly in the current environment with coronavirus-induced suspensions in road construction. These factors might have impacted the segment’s results in the fiscal first quarter.
Lindsay has been witnessing a rapid increase in input costs, particularly of steel and zinc used in the production of its products. Transportation costs have also flared up. Constraints on the availability of raw materials, labor and trucking resources have led to higher lead times for deliveries. Although the company continues to implement sales price adjustments to combat the cost inflation, these factors are likely to have eroded margins in the soon-to-be reported quarter.
Nevertheless, demand for Lindsay’s transportation safety products continues to gain traction on population growth and the need for improved road safety. The company’s focus on bringing innovative technology products and robust irrigation equipment demand is anticipated to have aided the Irrigation segment in the fiscal first quarter.

Our proven model doesn’t conclusively predict an earnings beat for Lindsay this season. 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. But that's not the case here.
