Earnings ESP: The Earnings ESP for Dover is at +0.33%.
Dover is witnessing robust order trends across most of its business, particularly in Engineered Products, Pumps & Process Solutions and Refrigeration & Food Equipment segments. Thus, benefits from robust bookings and order backlog across the company’s segments might get reflected in fourth-quarter performance. Further, strong recovery in the manufacturing sector in 2020 and improved demand environment are likely to have contributed to the company’s fourth-quarter performance.
Dover’s efforts to boost productivity and cost initiatives are anticipated to have driven margins during the quarter under review. It has been executing restructuring programs to better align costs and operations with the current market conditions through targeted facility consolidations, headcount reductions and other measures. These actions are likely to have aided the company’s quarterly performance.
Segmental Estimates
In the Engineered Products segment, demand for engineered products, vehicle service and industrial automation has been strong, which might get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s fourth-quarter revenues is currently pegged at $431 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 9.4%. The estimate for operating profit stands at $64 million, calling for an improvement of 14.3% from the prior-year quarter’s figure of $48 million. However, supply chain constraints and raw material cost inflation are likely to have affected the segment’s margin during the quarter.
The Fueling Solutions segment is likely to have gained from robust growth in systems and software, recovering underground demand and vehicle wash during the October-December quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pinned at $422 million, suggesting a year-over-year increase of 31.7%. The estimate for the operating profit is pegged at $69 million, calling for a decline from the prior-year quarter’s $70 million.
The Imaging & Identification segment’s results are likely to reflect solid demand for the consumables and fast-moving consumer goods solutions. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pinned at $308 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 7%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s operating profit is estimated at $65 million, suggesting an increase of 25% from the prior-year quarter’s levels.
In the Refrigeration & Food Equipment segment, strong order rates in the food retail business and large backlogs are likely to have aided the segment’s fourth-quarter performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s quarterly revenues is currently pegged at $350 million, calling for 2.3% growth year over year. The estimate for operating profit is pegged at $29.4 million compared with the year-ago quarter’s $27.7 million.
In the Pumps & Process Solutions segment, robust demand for the biopharma connectors and pumps, driven by the vaccine and non-COVID-related pharmaceutical tailwinds, are likely to have aided the segment’s December-end quarter’s performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $400 million, suggesting year-over-year growth of 15%. The consensus mark for the segment’s fourth quarter’s operating profit is pegged at $108 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 32%.
