Oct 31 (Reuters) - Parker-Hannifin ( PH ) raised its
full year profit forecast after posting a quarterly profit that
exceeded Wall Street estimates on Thursday, driven by strong
demand for its parts in the aerospace segment.
Aerospace suppliers are benefiting from a surge in product
orders against a strong travel demand backdrop, even as the
industry struggles with persistent supply chain issues.
Parker, which supplies aerospace parts such as airframes and
engine components to planemakers including Boeing ( BA ) and
Airbus, reported an adjusted first-quarter profit of
$6.20 per share, surpassing analysts' average estimate of $6.14,
according to LSEG data.
The company's aerospace segment saw sales rise to $1.45
billion, compared to the $1.23 billion it posted a year ago.
The Cleveland, Ohio-based company now expects full-year 2025
adjusted earnings per share between $26.35 and $27.05, up from
its previous estimate of $26.30 to $27.00.
Parker said its updated outlook reflects recent divestitures
in its Diversified Industrial Segment, but also warned of
near-term pressure in some industrial markets.
Total sales rose about 1.2% to $4.9 billion, largely in line
with analysts' expectations.
