Trimble’s fourth-quarter results are likely to benefit from the strong performance of machine control in civil construction, the agriculture guidance system, and survey and mapping.
Strength in Trimble Construction One platform and Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems is expected to have aided its performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
During the quarter, TRMB acquired AgileAssets to provide sustainability to customers' assets at lower costs across the complete lifecycle. The acquisition added strength to Trimble’s portfolio of civil infrastructure software solutions.
Additionally, it introduced the Trimble R750 GNSS Modular Receiver to help contractors, surveyors and farmers gain better positioning of the field. It also made Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform software and Trimble Siteworks software available worldwide as a subscription-based service.
Further, Trimble collaborated with Ferguson’s subsidiary, Ferguson Waterworks, for benefiting the latter’s municipal and utility customers. It also collaborated with Microsoft for developing and offering advanced cloud platforms to connect people, technology, tasks, data, processes, and industry lifecycles.
These initiatives are expected to have supported TRMB’s performance in the quarter under discussion.
Growing bookings and improvement in customer retention are likely to have been positive factors in driving the transportation segment.
Further, Trimble holds a solid position in its inventory level. This is anticipated to have counterbalanced the increasing input costs in the quarter under review.
Yet, the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic might get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.
Also, supply chain constraints and the rising input costs are expected to have remained concerns in the to-be-reported quarter.
Further, sluggishness in the OEM and aftermarket business is likely to have been an overhang in the quarter under review.
