Shares of AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ) plunged 5.28% on October 10, 2024, after the company reported its second-quarter earnings and provided guidance for the full fiscal year 2024 that fell short of market expectations.
While AZZ Inc. reported better-than-expected earnings for its second quarter, the company's sales for the quarter missed analysts' estimates. More importantly, the company's guidance for fiscal year 2024 sales, which ranged from $1.525 billion to $1.625 billion, was lower than what investors had anticipated.
The disappointing sales outlook overshadowed the company's strong earnings performance, leading to a sell-off in AZZ Inc.'s stock. Investors reacted negatively to the news, as lower sales could potentially impact the company's profitability and future growth prospects.
