View PricingGraco Faces Revenue Shortfall but Shows Promise for Future Rebound
Graco Inc. (NYSE:GGG), a prominent player in the fluid and coating equipment sector, recently faced a setback as it fell short of Wall Street's revenue projections for Q4 of fiscal year 2024. According to a report, the company's sales dropped by 3.2% from the previous year to $548.7 million, while its non-GAAP profit of $0.64 per share was 15.8% below analysts' consensus estimates.
Graco's underwhelming performance in the fourth quarter comes amidst slower demand across several of its end markets. Founded in 1926, Graco specializes in developing and manufacturing fluid-handling systems and products. The company has witnessed tepid sales growth over the last five years, with a compounded annual growth rate of just 5.1%, which is below the industry benchmark for the industrials sector. Despite these challenges, Graco managed to outperform many of its gas and liquid handling peers, which faced more significant sales declines due to cyclical economic headwinds.
According to IndexBox data, the company's Contractor and Process segments account for 45% and 24.8% of its revenue, respectively. Over the past two years, revenue from Graco's Contractor segment has remained flat, while its Process segment has shown a modest growth of 1.5% year-on-year. Moreover, Graco's operating margin, a critical profitability measure, stood at an impressive 26.9% on average over the previous five years, thanks to its high gross margin.
Looking ahead, sell-side analysts project a 7.6% revenue growth for Graco over the next 12 months, driven by the introduction of new products and services. This forecast implies a potential rebound in the company's financial performance, surpassing its recent historical growth trends.
In terms of earnings per share (EPS), Graco reported an EPS of $0.64 for Q4, a decline from $0.80 in the same period last year. Despite missing analysts' estimates, Wall Street expects Graco's EPS to reach $2.77 over the coming year, marking an anticipated growth of 11.2%. Despite the recent downturn, this growth outlook reflects optimism for the company's future performance as demand across its market segments potentially picks up.
