Factors to Note

With continued expansion in manufacturing activities, solid demand across end markets is likely to have aided PH’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

The Diversified Industrial segment’s performance is likely to have been driven by strong revenues in the North America sub-segment owing to higher orders. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Diversified Industrial North America segment revenues in the fiscal first quarter indicates a 10.8% increase from the year-ago reported quarter.

Effective pricing and supply-chain management actions are expected to have supported margin performance in the soon-to-be-reported quarter. The acquisition of Meggitt in September is likely to have contributed to PH’s top line in the fiscal first quarter.

However, escalating cost of sales (due to high raw material costs) and selling, general and administrative expenses might have dented Parker-Hannifin’s bottom line. Given the company’s substantial international presence, foreign-currency headwinds are expected to have hurt the top line.
