On July 1, Regal Rexnord rose 5.82% overnight, trading at $252.05/share, with turnover of $135,900. The rally was driven by the official commencement of new CEO Aamir Paul, formerly president of North America at Schneider Electric, combined with bullish analyst coverage.
Paul's appointment, effective July 1, follows a succession search launched in October last year. Former CEO Louis Pinkham resigned from the board upon completion of the transition. The market holds positive expectations for the new management team's strategic execution capabilities. Meanwhile, DA Davidson initiated coverage in mid-June with a Buy rating and a $260 price target, while analyst consensus target stands at $252.40, both significantly above the prior trading level.
Fundamentally, the company reported Q4 adjusted EPS of $2.51, beating the $2.47 estimate, and secured approximately $735 million in data center orders. Q1 results also exceeded expectations with adjusted EPS of $2.17 versus the $2.11 estimate on revenue of $1.48 billion. Full-year guidance calls for adjusted EPS of $10.20 to $11.00.
