Key Factors
The company’s four-pillar growth strategy, which focuses on enhancing its market presence in first-fit markets, driving profitable growth in the aftermarket, expanding into industrial filtration markets and supply-chain optimization, is likely to have benefited its first-quarter 2024 earnings. Strong demand in the company’s first-fit markets is expected to have driven its top-line performance.
ATMU’s product and technology leadership form the cornerstone for growth in its core first-fit and aftermarket segments. Also, continuous efforts to strengthen its retail presence with strategic partnerships along with robust demand for Fleetguard brand are likely to have bolstered the company’s revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s revenues is pegged at $418 million, suggesting an increase of 4.5% sequentially.
Its focus on innovation, strategic positioning and pricing actions is also expected to have supported margins. The consensus estimate for the company’s adjusted earnings is pinned at 59 cents per share, increasing 20.4% sequentially.
However, weakness in the aftermarket owing to lower freight activity and continued destocking by customers are likely to have hurt its earnings. Also, sluggish economic recovery in the China market is expected to have marred ATMU’s first-quarter performance.
High investments made in capital, and research and development for expanding its technology capability are likely to have impacted ATMU’s margin performance. Also, given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have dented top line.
