Donaldson Earnings: Shares Pull Back Despite Solid Results and Unchanged Full-Year Guidance
Narrow-moat-rated Donaldson’s fiscal first-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.83 came in a penny above the FactSet consensus estimate. Despite the earnings beat and unchanged guidance for full-year fiscal 2025, the stock price declined by around 6%, which we think reflects overvaluation heading into the earnings announcement, as the stock was trading at a nearly 15% premium to our previous $68 per share fair value estimate. We’ve increased our fair value estimate by $2 to $70, mostly due to time value of money, and view the stock as fairly valued after the pullback.
