Otis’ earnings topped the consensus mark in all the last nine quarters.
The Trend in Estimate Revision
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share moved down to 78 cents in the past 30 days. The estimated figure indicates a 1.3% decline from the year-ago quarter’s level. The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $3.54 billion, suggesting a 4.3% decrease from the year-ago reported figure of $3.70 billion.
The world's leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company is expected to have registered tepid sales and earnings in the second quarter. The downside was mainly due to the softness in the Americas and Asia and inflationary pressure.
Otis is improving the business on the back of various strategies like acquisitions, product innovations, and new technologies through continuous research and development.
New Equipment is expected to have higher revenue in the second quarter. Yet, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for New Equipment revenues is pegged at $1.58 billion, which indicates a decrease of 8.3% from $1.73 billion in the year-ago period.
For Service, revenues are expected to have increased in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Service revenues is pegged at $1.96 billion, which indicates a slight fall of 0.9% from $1.97 billion in the year-ago period.
Headwinds like commodity inflation and the absence of temporary cost actions are likely to have put pressure on the bottom line. The company expects tough organic growth and sequentially similar earnings performance in the businesses in the to-be-reported quarter. Also, currency headwinds are likely to have added to the woes.
The consensus mark for adjusted operating profit for the New Equipment unit indicates a fall of 25.2%, while that of Service suggests 2.7% year-over-year growth.
