Badger Meter (BMI) to Post Q2 Earnings: Key Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Badger Meter (BMI - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter results on Jul 20.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter revenues is pegged at $158.68 million, which suggests growth of 15.1% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at 67 cents per share, indicating a year-over-year increase of 17.5%. Our projection for the top and bottom lines is $160 million and 64 cents per share, respectively.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the last four quarters. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 5.3%, on average.
The company’s performance in the second quarter is likely to have benefited from robust customer demand and strong order trends across the majority of end-market applications globally.
Increasing demand for digital smart water solutions owing to changing secular challenges in the water industry is expected to have acted as a major tailwind. In the last reported quarter, utility water sales rose 20%, owing to strong demand momentum. Also, the company’s acquisition of Syrinix is likely to have acted as a tailwind.
The company is likely to have benefited from the continued robust adoption of E-Series, ultrasonic meters, ORION Cellular endpoint and BEACON Software-as-a-Service. Apart from that, growing SaaS revenues is a major tailwind.
The Flow instrumentation segment is expected to have benefited from strong order trends across most of the water-focused end market and modestly easing supply-chain woes. Also, effective spending controls are likely to have helped the company in improving its selling, engineering and administration expenses leverage.
However, the company’s performance in the second quarter might have been impacted due to rising global macroeconomic constraints. Increasing competition in the digital smart water solutions space and rising research and development costs are concerns.
