• The recent acquisition of Sigma & Omega in the HVAC segment is poised to expand SPX Technologies' addressable market and enhance its value proposition, driving revenue growth through complementary products and synergies in the multistory building market.
  
• SPX Technologies is targeting significant growth in the U.S. market with Sigma & Omega's products, planning to increase sales with minimal additional capital investment, which could lead to an increase in net margins and earnings.
  
• The company's focus on new product initiatives, like Ingenia in HVAC and Vendstar 5 in Detection & Measurement, is expected to support strong revenue growth and margin expansion as these products gain traction in the market.
  
• Continuous improvement and value engineering initiatives, such as standardizing control components in electric heat products, are expected to streamline manufacturing processes and reduce costs, leading to higher net margins.
  
• SPX's diverse demand drivers and strong backlog in critical, often government-mandated solutions may provide resilience against economic downturns, supporting steady revenue and earnings amidst macroeconomic uncertainties.

SPX Technologies Future Earnings and Revenue Growth

Assumptions

• Analysts are assuming SPX Technologies's revenue will grow by 10.6% annually over the next 3 years.
• Analysts assume that profit margins will increase from 10.2% today to 14.1% in 3 years time.
• Analysts expect earnings to reach $382.2 million (and earnings per share of $7.9) by about May 2028, up from $204.3 million today. The analysts are largely in agreement about this estimate.
• In order for the above numbers to justify the analysts price target, the company would need to trade at a PE ratio of 26.0x on those 2028 earnings, down from 33.9x today. This future PE is greater than the current PE for the US Machinery industry at 21.6x.
• Analysts expect the number of shares outstanding to grow by 1.03% per year for the next 3 years.
• To value all of this in today's terms, we will use a discount rate of 7.48%, as per the Simply Wall St company report.

SPX Technologies Future Earnings Per Share Growth

Risks

• Current tariff rates are negatively impacting SPX Technologies’ adjusted EPS guidance, with a net cost impact of approximately $6 million, which could strain net margins if mitigation efforts like price increases are insufficient.
  
• The Detection & Measurement segment experienced a decline in organic revenue by 6.9% year-on-year, indicating potential challenges in sustaining growth momentum that could impact future revenue and earnings.
  
• Increased interest costs from recent acquisitions, such as Sigma & Omega, are expected to offset some of the benefits from higher segment income, affecting net earnings and financial performance.
  
• The HVAC segment carries risks with organic revenue growth partly reliant on cooling platforms; any downturn in these areas could impact revenue growth and segment margins.
  
• Despite a growing segment backlog, current economic uncertainties and potential future economic slowdowns might negatively affect new project bookings and long-term revenue forecasts if market conditions deteriorate.
