Enerpac Tool Group Corp. (EPAC) is gearing up to release its first-quarter earnings results after the closing bell on Wednesday, Dec. 17, and Wall Street is bracing for a modest dip in profitability.
The consensus among analysts calls for the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based company to report quarterly earnings of 37 cents per share, down from 40 cents per share in the same period last year. On the revenue front, expectations are slightly more optimistic. Analysts are forecasting $145.90 million in quarterly sales, up from $145.20 million a year earlier.
The company's last earnings report came on Oct. 15, when Enerpac beat expectations for its fourth quarter and issued fiscal 2026 guidance that came in above analyst estimates. That was encouraging news for investors, though shares have drifted lower since then.
Enerpac shares closed at $39.98 on Monday, down 1.3% for the session.
