Carlisle’s first-quarter 2022 earnings and revenues beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 67.7% and 11.9%, respectively. The company is set to gain from strength in the U.S. reroofing end markets along with acquired assets. Strength in the medical technologies business and recovery in the commercial aerospace business are likely to drive its performance. Its focus on product launches and an improved outlook for industrial capital spending will be beneficial. For 2022, it expects revenues to grow more than 30% year over year. The company’s shareholder-friendly policies are likely to act as tailwinds. In the past three months, its shares have outperformed the industry. However, the company has been dealing with high costs and expenses, which might affect its margins and profitability. High debt levels can raise its financial obligations.
