- Sidoti reduced its EPS forecasts across several periods, including Q3 2026 to $2.63 from $2.67, Q4 2026 to $2.43 from $2.46, and fiscal 2026 to $10.44 from $10.62. The firm also lowered Q1 2027 to $2.71 from $2.74, Q3 2027 to $3.11 from $3.13, Q4 2027 to $2.80 from $2.82, and fiscal 2027 to $11.93 from $12.00. These revisions signal somewhat softer expected earnings momentum and are the clearest near-term pressure on the stock.
The estimate reductions follow Alamo Group’s latest quarterly report, in which it exceeded consensus expectations with $2.82 in EPS and $450.7 million in revenue. However, with the stock trading below its 200-day moving average and Sidoti’s forecasts moving lower, investors appear focused more on the potential moderation in future profits than on the prior-quarter beat.
