Gates Industrial (GTES) Stock Forecast & Price Target
Gates Industrial (GTES) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Gates Industrial Corp PLC demonstrated a positive financial outlook due to an expansion in its EBITDA margin, which rose approximately 30 basis points year-over-year to 21.8%, aided significantly by a 125 basis point improvement in the Fluid Power segment. The company's strong new product introduction (NPI) performance, increasing from low single digits in 2017 to high-teens in 2023, indicates robust innovation with over 60 cumulative new product launches contributing to revenue growth. Additionally, the notable 20% year-over-year growth in personal mobility, as well as advancements in automotive replacement markets, particularly in East Asia and North America, enhance the company's revenue prospects and solidify its market position.
Bears say
Gates Industrial Corp's financial outlook appears negative due to a full-year organic sales decline of -5.4%, exacerbated by a -6% decline in the fourth quarter, primarily influenced by lower first-fit sales in key industrial segments, including construction and agriculture. The company's anticipated core sales decline of -1% for 2025 is markedly lower than previous growth estimates, suggesting persistent challenges in North America and EMEA, where organic growth in EMEA was recorded at -6.2% year-over-year. Additionally, the revenue guidance for the first quarter of 2025, ranging from $805 to $835 million, falls short of prior expectations, alongside expected adjusted margin contractions, indicating a concerning trend in profitability amidst declining sales.
