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
ESCO’s Q3 sales rose 14%, adjusted EPS rose 38% and adjusted EBIT margin expanded by 90 basis points. Management also raised FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $8.30–$8.40, implying 38%–39% growth. (SEC filing)
Demand is running ahead of deliveries: Q3 orders were $410 million, giving a 1.21 book-to-bill ratio and a record $1.54 billion backlog. All three operating segments had book-to-bill above one, supporting revenue visibility beyond the current quarter. (SEC filing)
The planned Megger acquisition could materially strengthen ESCO’s utility franchise. Megger is expected to add about $590 million of 2026 revenue and complementary testing products as utilities upgrade and expand their grids. (GlobeNewswire)
The Utility Solutions segment is not growing evenly: NRG sales fell 29% and orders fell 27% after US renewable-energy tax credits expired. The resulting mix and cost pressure reduced the segment’s adjusted EBIT margin by 130 basis points. (SEC filing)
Megger is a sizeable execution and balance-sheet commitment, costing about $2.35 billion, including roughly $0.9 billion in cash and incremental debt. The deal still needs regulatory approval, while financing and acquisition-related charges are already reducing reported earnings. (GlobeNewswire, SEC filing)
Aerospace and defence order growth can be lumpy: Q3 A&D entered orders fell 66% year on year because the comparison included acquired Maritime backlog and large Navy awards. Although book-to-bill remained above one, future revenue still depends on the timing and execution of major contracts. (SEC filing)
