TD Cowen analyst Joseph C Giordano maintains $Flowserve (FLS.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $60.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 64.9% and a total average return of 10.5% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $Flowserve (FLS.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
Flowserve's third-quarter adjusted earnings per share did not meet expectations, and the implied guidance for the fourth quarter suggests that there will be no significant recovery in earnings before interest and taxes. Nevertheless, the company's stock saw an increase of 2.3% despite these results. This positive market reaction is likely due to the company's strong bookings totaling $1.2 billion, which surpassed projections. Additionally, the company saw a 30% year-over-year increase in power bookings, and the pipeline for nuclear projects also grew by 20%. Furthermore, there is evidence of sustained improvement in free cash flow conversion, along with a promising outlook extending into 2025.
Orders for Flowserve continue to be robust, and the company is experiencing its highest backlog to date, with margins indicating a positive trajectory.
Flowserve's third quarter performance was generally aligned with forecasts operationally. The outlook is becoming increasingly appealing due to a variety of factors, such as robust demand across the board, significant growth in orders, an expanding backlog, advantageous secular trends, potential margin improvement, enhanced free cash flow conversion, and a balance sheet that may offer more opportunities than currently recognized.
