Middleby Q2 Earnings Beat Estimates, Sales Down Y/Y

Crown Holdings Inc

Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ait#NYSE">AIT</a>) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter fiscal 2024 (ended June 2024) results on Aug 15, before market open.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal fourth-quarter earnings has been unchanged in the past 60 days. The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having beat the consensus estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average surprise being 8.2%.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.19 billion, indicating an increase of 2.5% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $2.52 per share, suggesting an increase of 7.2% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported figure.
Let&#39;s see how things have shaped up for AIT this earnings season.
<h3>Factors to Note</h3>
A strong market position, sales initiatives and growth across national customer accounts are likely to have supported the Service Center Based Distribution segment. The increase in demand for technical MRO support and fluid power MRO services across the U.S. manufacturing sector, driven by growing digitization and higher investment in maintenance operations, is likely to have aided the segment&#39;s revenues. We expect the segment&#39;s revenues to be $812.4 million, implying an increase of 3.9% from the year-ago number.
Focus on improving the product line, value-added services and initiatives to drive operational excellence are expected to have driven AIT&#39;s top line. Also, the company&#39;s investments to expand automation, industrial Internet of Things and digital offerings like smart vision and mobile robots are likely to have been advantageous.
The September 2023 acquisition of Bearing Distributors and Cangro, which enhanced AIT&#39;s footprint and strategic growth initiatives across the U.S. Southeast and upper Northeast region, is expected to have bolstered its top-line performance. We expect the company&#39;s total revenues to be $1.2 billion, indicating an increase of 2.9% from the year-ago reported figure. Adjusted earnings are expected to be $2.54 per share, indicating a 7.9% increase from the year-ago quarter&#39;s reported number.
However, AIT is expected to have put up a weak show across the Engineered Solutions segment due to a decrease in demand across the OEM channel as a result of the reduced shipment of off-highway mobile and fluid power components.
Rising selling, distribution and administrative expenses, due to higher deferred compensation costs, are likely to have dented Applied Industrial&#39;s bottom line. Also, rising costs of sales, due to an increase in raw material and labor costs, are expected to hurt the company&#39;s results.

What's in Store for Applied Industrial in Q4 Earnings?

Broadwind, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bwen#NASDAQ">BWEN</a>) is expected to release second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 13, after market close.
The company&#39;s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average earnings surprise of 95.5%. In the last reported quarter, its earnings of 7 cents per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 7 cents per share by 200%.
Let&#39;s see how things have shaped up for Broadwind this earnings season.
<h3>Factors Likely to Influence Results</h3>
The Industrial Solutions segment is expected to witness higher revenues on the back of increased gas turbine projects and rising shipments of new and aftermarket gas turbine content. Also, global electricity demand growth has been aiding the segment.
Broadwind&#39;s second-quarter performance is likely to have been aided by an increased order level, driven by strong activity levels from the natural gas turbine market. The company&#39;s focus on expanding its portfolio of industrial fabrications to include new products and increased customer interest from the defense industry are expected to have driven its revenues.
Broadwind has been taking actions to align its cost structure with the current demand environment, which is likely to have aided its margin performance.
However, decreasing demand for wind towers is likely to have impacted the Heavy Fabrications segment&#39;s performance. Reduced shipments for industrial, mining and O&amp;G customers are likely to affect the Gearing segment&#39;s results.
BWEN has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given its substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.
The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $37 million, indicating a decrease of 26.9% from the year-ago quarter&#39;s number. The consensus estimate for earnings is pegged at breakeven, indicating a decline from earnings of 7 cents per share in the year-earlier quarter.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Crown Holdings has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Crown Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Crown Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.41%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Crown Holdings shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q2 adjusted EPS results and raised its FY24 EPS guidance above estimates.

Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cck#NYSE">CCK</a>) reported second-quarter 2024 adjusted earnings per share of $1.81, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.59. The bottom line exceeded the company&#39;s EPS guidance of $1.55-$1.65. It improved 8% year over year.
Including one-time items, the company reported earnings of $1.45 per share in the quarter under review compared with $1.31 in second-quarter 2023.
Net sales totaled $3.04 billion, down 2.2% from the year-ago quarter. The top line missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.06 billion. The downside was caused by lower volumes across most businesses and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Higher beverage can shipments in the Americas Beverage segment offset some impacts.

Crown Holdings Beats on Q2 Earnings, Raises '24 View

Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCK#NYSE">CCK</a>) shares are trading higher today after the company reported better-than-expected&nbsp;second-quarter adjusted EPS results yesterday and raised its FY24 EPS<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/n39892943/crown-holdings-inc-reports-second-quarter-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> guidance&nbsp;above estimate</a>.
Net sales declined to&nbsp;$3.04 billion&nbsp;from&nbsp;$3.11 billion&nbsp;a year ago, missing the consensus of $3.06 billion.
Revenue was affected by a $94 million pass-through of lower material costs and a $13 million adverse impact from foreign currency fluctuations.
Adjusted EPS of&nbsp;$1.81, exceeding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of&nbsp;$1.58</a>.
The company reported operating cash flow of $343 million and $178 million in adjusted free cash flow for the first half of the year.
Timothy J. Donahue, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;The Company performed well during the quarter, led by strong results in each of the global beverage businesses.&nbsp; Benefitting from our broad geographic presence and strategic customer alliances, beverage segment income improved by 21% in the second quarter on a combined global basis.&#8221;
&#8220;Beverage can shipments improved 6% globally in the second quarter, including 9% in North America.&nbsp; Beverage can shipments in&nbsp;Europe&nbsp;and&nbsp;Latin America&nbsp;were also strong and exceeded longer-term expectations&nbsp;of low-to mid-single digit volume growth.&#8221;
Outlook: Crown Holdings raised FY24 EPS guidance to $6.00–$6.25 (from $5.80–$6.20) vs. an estimate of $5.98 and expects free cash flow to exceed $750 million.
The company projects third-quarter adjusted EPS of $1.75–$1.85 vs. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of&nbsp;$1.79</a>.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Arun Viswanathan writes that although CCK is raising its FY24 guidance primarily due to the second-quarter beat, investor sentiment might be cautious due to ongoing inflation impacts on consumers, affecting CCK and other packaging stocks.
The analyst notes investors will also respond positively to CCK&#8217;s new long-term leverage target of 2.5x.
However, weakness persists in CCK&#8217;s non-reportable segments, including NA aerosol and beverage can-making equipment and Transit, which are more sensitive to economic fluctuations, writes the analyst.
Overall, the analyst is positive about the NA shipment growth (+9%) and the mid-to-low single-digit growth in Europe/LATAM.
Additionally, CCK&#8217;s strong cash flow from operations reflects effective working capital management, with expectations to end 2024 below 3.0x and a new long-term target of 2.5x.
The analyst maintains an <a target="_blank" href="http://benzinga.com/quote/CCK/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating on the stock with a price target of $96.00</a>.
Price Action: CCK shares are up 9% at $84.45 at the last check Tuesday.

Growing demand for eco-friendly products and sustainable packaging presents a significant opportunity for companies that prioritize these solutions. Therefore, scooping up the shares of fundamentally sound sustainable packaging stocks, such as Packaging Corp of America (PKG), Crown Holdings (CCK), and Sonoco Products Co. (SON), could be beneficial. Read more... As the world increasingly shifts away from single-use plastics, the demand for sustainable packaging solutions is rising fast. Consumers and businesses are now more conscious than ever about the environmental impact of their choices, leading to a growing emphasis on eco-friendly packaging alternatives.
Given this backdrop, it could be wise to consider investing in three fundamentally sound sustainable packaging stocks such as Packaging Corporation of America (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PKG/">PKG</a>), Crown Holdings, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CCK/">CCK</a>), and Sonoco Products Company (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/SON/">SON</a>).
With visions of sea turtles tangled in plastic and whales suffering from ingested waste, it's no surprise that consumers are increasingly turning away from traditional plastics. Their attention has shifted toward more sustainable, environmentally friendly packaging solutions, including biodegradable materials, recyclable packaging, and minimalistic designs that reduce waste.
This shift is driving the rapid growth of sustainable packaging, with many companies committing to 100% recycled materials in the coming years. Moreover, consumers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for products with sustainable packaging, with nearly <a href="https://www.smashbrand.com/articles/consumer-demand-for-sustainable-packaging-is-on-the-rise/#:~:text=Sustainable%20packaging%20has%20been%20one,)%20of%206%25%20through%202027.">70% stating they'd spend more</a> on such options.
This rising demand presents a promising opportunity for companies prioritizing sustainable packaging to capture a larger market share. The global sustainable packaging market size is forecasted to nearly double, reaching $490.73 billion by 2032, growing at a <a href="https://www.towardspackaging.com/insights/sustainable-packaging-market-sizing#:~:text=Global%20sustainable%20packaging%20sector%20starting,period%20from%202023%20to%202032.">CAGR of 6.6%</a> from 2023 to 2032.
Considering these factors, let's evaluate the <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/industrial-packaging/">Industrial – Packaging</a> stocks in detail, starting with the third choice:
Stock #3: Crown Holdings, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CCK/">CCK</a>)
CCK operates globally in the packaging industry through four segments: Americas Beverage; European Beverage; Asia Pacific; and Transit Packaging. The company produces and sells recyclable aluminum beverage cans and ends, aerosol cans, glass bottles, steel crowns, and closures.
On July 29, 2024, CCK announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to $2.0 billion, set to run through the end of 2027.
The management views this buyback as a key component of their longer-term capital allocation strategy, which focuses on investing in growth, returning capital to shareholders, and reducing debt. The goal is to lower the company's net leverage to 2.5 times.
Buoyed by its strong financial performance, the company declared a quarterly <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp">dividend</a> of $0.25 per share, payable to its shareholders on August 29, 2024. CCK pays an annual dividend of $1, which translates to a yield of 1.14% at the current share price. Moreover, the company's dividend payouts have increased at an impressive CAGR of 34.8% over the past three years.
CCK's net sales for the fiscal second quarter that ended June 30, 2024, amounted to $3.04 billion, while its income from operations stood at $379 million, up 3.3% over the prior-year quarter. The company's adjusted net income and earnings per share increased by 8% and 7.7% year-over-year to $217 million and $1.81, respectively.
Street expects CCK's revenue for the third quarter (ending September 2024) to increase marginally year-over-year to $3.08 billion. Its EPS for the third quarter is expected to grow by 4.4% from the previous year, settling at $1.81.
The stock has gained 17.4% over the past month to close the last trading session at $87.36.
CCK's strong fundamentals are reflected in its <a href="https://stocknews.com/powr-ratings/">POWR Ratings</a>. The stock has an overall rating of B, which translates to Buy in our proprietary rating system. The POWR Ratings are calculated by considering 118 different factors, each weighted to an optimal degree.
CCK has a B grade for Growth, Momentum, and Sentiment. It is ranked #6 out of 19 stocks in the B-rated <a href="https://stocknews.com/category/industrial-packaging/">Industrial – Packaging</a> industry. <a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CCK/">Click here</a> to access the other CCK ratings for Value, Stability, and Quality.

For the second quarter of 2024, which ended on June 30, PKG's net sales increased 6.3% year-over-year to $2.08 billion, while its income from operations amounted to $276 million. The company's non-GAAP net income and EPS for the quarter stood at $198.60 million and $2.20, respectively. Also, its cash, cash equivalents, and market debt securities grew 86.3 % from the year-ago value to $1.17 billion.
The consensus revenue estimate of $2.10 billion for the fiscal third quarter (ending September 2024) represents an 8.5% increase year-over-year. The consensus EPS estimate of $2.48 for the ongoing quarter indicates a 20.8% improvement year-over-year. The company has an excellent earnings surprise history; it surpassed the consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters.
PKG shares have surged 30.4% over the past nine months and 21.4% year-to-date to close the last trading session at $197.74.

On July 17, the company declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.52 per share, payable on September 10, 2024, to shareholders of record as of August 9, 2024.
SON's annual dividend of $2.08 translates to a 3.91% yield on the prevailing prices, while its four-year average dividend yield is 3.20%. Its dividend payouts have grown at CAGRs of 5.2% and 4.3% over the past three and five years, respectively. Also, SON has a record of 41 years of consecutive dividend growth.
On June 24, SON agreed to acquire Eviosys, Europe's leading food cans, ends, and closures manufacturer, for approximately $3.9 billion. This acquisition aligns with the company's strategy to focus on and scale its core businesses and invest in high-return opportunities.
With this move, SON will become the global leader in metal food can and aerosol packaging manufacturing. Additionally, the company expects to achieve over $100 million in synergies from the integration of Eviosys with its existing metal can business.
For the fiscal first quarter that ended March 31, 2024, SON's net sales amounted to $1.64 billion, while its gross profit stood at $337.55 million. Its adjusted attributable net income and earnings per share for the quarter amounted to $111.49 million and $1.12, respectively.
The company's net cash from operating activities increased 69.6% year-over-year to $166.24 million. As of March 31, 2024, its cash and cash equivalents increased to $172.21 million from $151.94 million recorded as of December 31, 2023.
