I believe $AOS is due for a rebound. AmericanBulls thinks it, too. See "Signal Update", "Market Outlook" and "Pattern Description" for details. https://www.americanbulls.com/SignalPage.aspx?lang=en&Ticker=AOS P/E is low, historically. https://www.morningstar.com/stocks/xnys/aos/valuation Amazing in-depth view of the company's financials, etc. at Simply Wall St https://simplywall.st/stocks/us/capital-goods/nyse-aos/a-o-smith You may need to sign up to see it all, it's quick and it's free. Per my chart, the previous 2 bottoms were 2 months apart (early July to early September) and now we're 2 months from early September. RSI is low, both on a daily and weekly basis. I like the April 2025 $80 calls for $3.33 for a potential 200%+ capital gain if the stock price gets up to my target price of $90.

$AOS A.O. Smith backs FY24 adjusted EPS view $3.70-$3.85, consensus $3.82 Backs FY24 revenue view $3.8B-$3.9B, consensus $3.87B. "Because we expect consumer demand to remain challenged in China through the end of the year and we are cautious about North America residential and commercial water heater end-market demand, we announced on October 11, and reaffirm today, that we lowered our sales outlook for 2024 to be approximately flat to last year. We also lowered our full year EPS outlook to a range of between $3.70 and $3.85, a year-over-year decline of 1% over 2023 adjusted EPS, at the midpoint," stated Wheeler. "Our improved lead times are expected to continue through the remainder of the year, and we have adjusted our North America residential and commercial water heater facilities to improve production efficiencies at lower levels."

$AOS A.O. Smith reports Q3 EPS 82c, consensus 83c Reports Q3 revenue $902.6M, consensus $904.73M. "As we announced in our October 11 press release, our China sales and North America water heater volumes were lower than we expected in the third quarter. Consumer demand headwinds in China and pre-buy and lead-time-driven order demand softness in North America persisted through the quarter and led to lower than expected sales and profitability," noted Kevin Wheeler, chairman and chief executive officer. "While our China and North America water heater businesses were challenged in the quarter, I am pleased with the performance of other parts of our business, particularly the double-digit sales growth in commercial boilers and North America water treatment."

$AOS "Upcoming earnings: 10/22/2024, Bearish (2.4) The recent performance of A.O. Smith (AOS) has raised significant concerns among investors and analysts alike, primarily due to disappointing preliminary third-quarter results and reduced guidance for the fiscal year. The company reported estimated sales of $902.6 million for Q3, which is notably below the consensus of $957.73 million, reflecting a year-over-year decline attributed to ongoing challenges in China and weak demand for water heaters in North America. Goldman Sachs has responded to this downturn by lowering its price target for A.O. Smith to $72 from $73, maintaining a Sell rating amid these negative developments. Despite the gloomy outlook, A.O. Smith has announced an increase in its dividend to $0.34 per share, signaling some level of commitment to shareholders. However, the overall sentiment remains pessimistic, as the company braces for what it describes as the low point in its performance cycle, with expectations of gradual improvement in the future. A.O. Smith is scheduled to release its third-quarter financial results on October 22, 2024, prior to the market opening. This earnings report is highly anticipated, especially following the company's recent guidance cuts and preliminary results that fell short of expectations. Analysts and investors will be closely watching the conference call that follows the earnings announcement for further insights into the company's strategy and outlook, particularly in light of its challenges in key markets like China and North America.

"We expect quarter-over-quarter improvement in North America water heater volumes in the fourth quarter; however, we project the softness in China will persist through the remainder of 2024. As a result, we have lowered our 2024 sales outlook to be approximately flat year-over-year. Additionally, we have lowered our full year 2024 EPS outlook to be between $3.70 and $3.85," stated Wheeler. "As we have in the past, we are reviewing our operations in China and taking measures to optimize that business to align with the lower volumes. While we view recently announced China stimulus measures as positive, we believe it will take time before any impacts on consumer demand are seen. In North America, we expect improved volumes through the rest of the year. However, we remain cautious about residential and commercial water heater end market demand. We have adjusted our North America residential and commercial water heater facilities to improve efficiency at lower volumes and are able to scale up quickly as volumes increase to maintain our improved lead times."
