Flowserve Set to Report Q4 Earnings: Is a Beat in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Flowserve Corporation (FLS - Free Report) is likely to witness bottom and top-line growth when it reports fourth-quarter 2024 results on Feb. 18, after market close. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.2 billion, indicating growth of 3.9% from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at 77 cents per share, which has increased 4.1% in the past 30 days. The figure indicates a jump of 13.2% from the prior-year figure. FLS surpassed estimates thrice and missed once in the trailing four quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 10.8%. The company’s bottom line fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 7.5% in the last reported quarter.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for Flowserve prior to the announcement.
Factors Likely to Have Shaped FLS’ Quarterly Performance
Strength in the chemical market, led by the greenfield petrochemical project in Saudi Arabia, is expected to drive the company’s results in the fourth quarter. Significant investments in specialty chemicals in the United States and modest improvement in overall global chemical demand are also likely to have augmented its top line.
Solid booking levels in the power generation market, supported by the growth in data center capacity and increasing Artificial Intelligence activity, are likely to have been favorable. For 2024, Flowserve expects total revenues to increase in the range of 4-6% from the year-ago level.
The company’s Pumps Division segment is anticipated to have performed well in the fourth quarter, driven by solid momentum in the aftermarket and original equipment businesses in North America, Europe Middle East and Latin America. We expect the Pumps Division segment’s revenues to increase 2.3% from the year-ago quarter to $851 million.
An increase in original equipment sales in the Middle East, North America, Asia Pacific and Europe regions is expected to have augmented the Flow Control Division segment’s performance. We anticipate the segment’s fourth-quarter revenues to increase 5.2% year over year to $351 million.
The acquisition of MOGAS Industries (in October 2024), which enhanced Flowserve’s valve and automation product portfolio and significantly boosted its direct mining and mineral extraction exposure, is also expected to augment its results.
However, escalating costs and expenses, related to higher input costs, and restructuring-related actions are likely to have affected FLS’ margin performance. Also, given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its margins and profitability.
