ROCKGIBRALTAR INDUSTRIES, INC. Oct 11, 7:48 AM ET

Gibraltar cuts 2024 guidance as Q3 sales and EPS fall below last year

Negative guidance Written later 2.02

Gibraltar Industries said preliminary third-quarter 2024 net sales were $359 million to $362 million, down from $390.7 million a year earlier, and GAAP EPS was $1.09 to $1.12 versus $1.28. It also lowered its full-year 2024 net sales and EPS guidance, citing solar industry headwinds and a slower residential market, which points to weaker results for shareholders.

AOSSMITH A O CORP Oct 11, 6:56 AM ET

A. O. Smith cuts 2024 EPS outlook to $3.70-$3.85 after preliminary Q3 sales fall 4%

Negative guidance Written later 2.02

A. O. Smith reported preliminary third-quarter 2024 sales of $903 million, down 4% from a year earlier, and diluted EPS of $0.82, down 9%. The company lowered its full-year 2024 EPS guidance to $3.70-$3.85 from $3.95-$4.10, citing weaker demand in China and North America water heaters, which matters to shareholders because it reduces expected profit for the year.

Preliminary Q3 2024 net sales were $902.6 million versus $937.5 million in Q3 2023, a 4% decline.
Preliminary Q3 2024 diluted EPS was $0.82 versus $0.90 a year earlier, a 9% decline.
Full-year 2024 EPS guidance was lowered to $3.70-$3.85 from $3.95-$4.10; sales guidance is now approximately flat year over year.
Final third-quarter results are scheduled for release on Oct. 22, 2024.

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
