ALSN surpassed earnings estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 19.45%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Allison reported adjusted earnings of $1.91 per share for fourth-quarter 2023, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.42 and rose 25.6% year over year. The company’s quarterly revenues of $775 million grew 8% from the year-ago period and outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $755 million.
Factors at Play
Allison’s eGen Power portfolio, comprising 100S, 100D, 130S, 85S and 130D e-axles, demonstrates its ability to adapt to the changing dynamics of the auto industry. The eGen Flex and eGen Force portfolios are expected to have bolstered ALSN’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s strong partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, coupled with expanding international sales, is expected to have bolstered top-line growth in the first quarter. Upbeat projections for full-year 2024 revenues also spark optimism surrounding ALSN’s result in the to-be-reported quarter. For the full year, Allison envisions total sales in the range of $3.05-$3.15 billion, up from $3.03 billion generated in 2023.
On the flip side, electrified propulsion initiatives are expected to flare up the spending levels of the firm, thereby clipping cash flows. Allison is expected to incur high engineering and R&D expenses this year to fund product development across all end markets.
High costs of raw materials and electronic components across all industries, logistics challenges, including air and ocean freight and port delays, as well as labor cost inflation might have played spoilsport, limiting gross margins. Rising expenditure and macroeconomic scenarios are likely to have hurt the company’s performance in the first quarter.
