【real-time path guiding using bounding voxel sampling】Machinery Companies' Earnings Due on Nov 5: PH, MIDD & FLS
Machinery companies’ corporate results for the July-September quarter of 2020 so far show resiliency against the adversities caused by the coronavirus pandemic in the last two quarters. It is real-time path guiding using bounding voxel samplingworth mentioning here that, machinery stocks are grouped under the Zacks Industrial Products sector.
Per the latest Earnings Trends report, nearly 48.3% of S&P 500 companies within the Industrial Products sector have reported results till Oct 28. Earnings for these companies have declined 16.6% year over year, while revenues are down 9.3%. Earnings beat is at 100% and sales beat is at 92.9%. The results reflect the impact of the pandemic and efforts undertaken by the companies to overcome those hurdles.
For the July-September quarter, earnings for Industrial Products sector are predicted to decline 18% year over year, while revenues and margins are expected to fall 5.2% and 1.6%, respectively. These estimates suggest improvement over the 35.2% earnings decline, 15.2% fall in revenues and 2.7% decline in margins recorded in the April-June quarter of 2020.
Key Factors for Machinery Stocks
In the July-September quarter of 2020, operating environment for machinery companies — as suggested by healthy industrial production and ISM Purchasing Manager’s Index (“PMI”) data — marked an improvement over the previous quarter. Notably, year-over-year growth of 39.8% was recorded for the United Sates’ industrial production in the July-September quarter versus a 42.6% decline in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the ISM PMI improved from 52.6% in June to 55.4% in September.
Gains from this might get reflected in the results of machinery companies.
In addition, the surge in business through the e-commerce platform (especially when retailing is subdued due to the pandemic scare) is likely to have played an important role in the quarter under review. Further, companies dealing in health and safety-related products as well as in do-it-yourself products and robotic cleaners might have seen healthy demand.
Also, investments in innovation and promotional programs as well as focus on cost reductions are expected to have aided performances. However, the impacts of the challenges related to the pandemic as well as threats from strong competition and highly-leveraged balance sheets might have played spoilsport.
