What the Analysts think about ESE
Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for ESCO Technologies stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of ESCO Technologies stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Q3 sales rose 14% and adjusted EPS rose 38% year on year; ESCO also raised its FY 2026 sales and adjusted EPS guidance for a second time. This points to solid earnings momentum across the business. (ESCO Technologies Inc.)
The $1.54 billion backlog was a record, and Q3 book-to-bill was above one in all three segments. That gives ESCO a sizeable base of work to convert into future revenue. (ESCO Technologies Inc.)
ESCO completed its Megger acquisition in October, adding a global utility-testing business with complementary products and a wider international reach. This gives its Utility Solutions Group greater scale and access to customers in critical electric infrastructure. (ESCO Technologies Inc.)
ESCO’s renewables business NRG remains weak: Q3 sales fell 29% and orders fell 27%, which the company linked to the expiry of US renewables tax credits. USG’s adjusted EBIT margin also slipped despite higher segment sales. (ESCO Technologies Inc.)
Megger is a large transaction, with approximately $2.35 billion of consideration and a new credit facility providing $1.5 billion of secured revolving and term-loan commitments. The added financing burden and share issuance leave less room for error if integration or expected returns disappoint. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Yahoo Finance)
A&D order intake can be highly lumpy: Q3 orders fell to about $196 million from $582 million a year earlier, when the comparison included acquired Maritime backlog and large Navy awards. That makes the timing of major awards an important driver of near-term order trends. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission)
