Alamo's stock plummeted 6.77% intraday on Tuesday, following disappointing fourth-quarter financial results.
The industrial and agricultural equipment manufacturer reported quarterly adjusted earnings of $1.70 per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $2.12. Revenue for the quarter was $373.7 million, below the expected $399.6 million and down year-over-year, primarily due to a 13.2% decline in sales in the Vegetation Management Division.
Company management cited weak end-market demand in the division, driven by low housing demand, unfavorable crop prices, higher interest rates, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, which overshadowed growth in the Industrial Equipment Division.
