Donaldson (DCI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Donaldson demonstrated a strong financial performance in fiscal 2024, generating approximately $3.6 billion in revenue and $544 million in operating income, indicating robust profitability. The company's sales in the fourth quarter rose to $575.3 million, marking a 6.0% year-over-year increase, primarily driven by gains in the Aftermarket and improved market share. Furthermore, Donaldson's return on invested capital (ROIC) improved significantly, reaching 20.5% in fiscal 2024, well above the normalized cost of capital, highlighting its effective management and operational efficiency.
Bears say
Donaldson's recent fiscal report indicates a 2.7% year-over-year decline in sales within its mobile segment, primarily due to weakness in off-road markets and reduced activity in China, highlighting underlying challenges in demand. Additionally, delays in the anticipated ramp-up and profitability of its Life Sciences segment are exacerbated by macroeconomic pressures, with projected margins not expected to break even until fiscal 2025. Collectively, these factors contribute to a negative outlook for the company's investment returns and overall financial performance.
