The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s fiscal second-quarter earnings has been revised downward by 0.2% in the past 60 days. However, the company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 11.3%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Parker-Hannifin’s fiscal second quarter.
Strong demand across end markets, effective pricing and supply-chain management actions are expected to have aided Parker-Hannifin’s margin performance in the fiscal second quarter.
Robust revenues in the North American and International sub-segments are likely to have benefitted the Diversified Industrial segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. Revenues in the Aerospace Systems segment are expected to have gained from an increase in orders in the to-be-reported quarter.
The acquisition of Meggitt (September 2022) is also likely to have augmented the company’s top line in the fiscal second quarter.
However, Parker-Hannifin’s bottom line might have been dented due to increasing cost of sales (mainly high raw material costs) and selling, general and administrative expenses. Given the company’s substantial international presence, foreign-currency headwinds are likely to have weighed on the company’s top line in the quarter to be reported.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Parker-Hannifin’s revenues in the fiscal second quarter suggests a 16.6% increase from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. However, the consensus mark for earnings indicates a decrease of 0.2% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
