For the second quarter, AMETEK expects sales growth in the mid to high-single digits from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for sales is pegged at $1.77 billion, suggesting an increase of 7.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
AMETEK expects adjusted earnings of $1.63-$1.65 per share, suggesting growth of 4-5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pinned at $1.64 per share, implying growth of 4.5% from the prior-year quarter’s reported numbers.
AME’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average being 3.48%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
AMETEK’s second-quarter 2024 performance is expected to have benefited from solid momentum across the Electromechanical Group (EMG) segment, owing to positive contributions from Paragon Medical and Bison Engineering acquisitions.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter EMG sales is pinned at $603.96 million, indicating 18.1% growth from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Strength in the Electronic Instruments Group (EIG) segment on the back of benefits from Navitar, Alphasense, Magnetrol International and Crank Software buyouts and strong momentum across aerospace & defense and materials analysis businesses is likely to have boosted the company’s performance in the second quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter EIG sales is pegged at $1.17 billion, indicating growth of 3.2% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
Increasing demand for AMETEK’s solutions across high-growth markets, including med tech, clean energy and electrification, is expected to have acted as a tailwind.
AME’s proper execution of its core growth strategies, including operational excellence, global market expansion and investments in product development and acquisitions, is expected to have driven the second-quarter performance.
The impacts of strengthening momentum across the AMETEK Growth Model are expected to get reflected in the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
However, high goodwill associated with aggressive acquisition strategies and the impacts of rising geopolitical tensions are expected to have been headwinds for the company.
Macroeconomic uncertainties and unfavorable foreign exchange fluctuations are expected to have been concerns.
