Is a Beat in Store for BWX Technologies This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
BWX Technologies (BWXT - Free Report) is expected to beat expectations when it reports third-quarter 2024 results after market close on Nov. 4.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings is pinned at 77 cents per share, indicating an increase of 14.9% from the year-ago quarter, unchanged over the past 60 days. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $658.2 million, suggesting an 11.6% increase from the year-ago quarter.
BWXT’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 7.6%.
BWXT’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the strong demand in its global security, clean energy and medical markets. Growing global demand for clean energy solutions, particularly nuclear power across private industries, is expected to have aided top-line growth.
BWX Technologies' strong position in the nuclear technology sector, especially with its government contracts for defense and naval applications is likely to have driven its prospects in the quarter to be reported. Defense-related ongoing projects, such as Pele on land and DRACO in space, are expected to have driven its growth in the third quarter.
Strong momentum in the naval nuclear propulsion business, enhanced by the growth in microreactors, special materials and technical services, is expected to have a positive impact on its third-quarter performance.
Strength in its existing diagnostics portfolio and expansion of products in key cancer therapeutics is likely to have benefited its Medical segment. BWXT’s recent partnership with North Star to provide processing and purification services to develop radium-226 g, which will be utilized in North Star's Electronic accelerator to produce actinium-225, might have further boosted its sales in the quarter under review.
However, macroeconomic challenges like inflation and geopolitical tensions are expected to have softened BWXT’s performance in the third quarter.
