In the last reported quarter, its earnings were $2.99 per share, up 9.52% from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.73. Then again, the bottom line in the quarter grew 54.1% year over year on the back of sales growth, partially hurt by high corporate expenses.Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter 2021 (slated to report results on Feb 10, 2022) earnings of Carlisle is pegged at $2.63, suggesting an increase of 77.7% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.Several factors are favoring the growth prospects of Carlisle. Products offered are diverse and demand is also healthy in the markets served. Also, the company benefits from acquired assets. It acquired California-based Henry Company last September. Other previous notable buyouts made by Carlisle include Providien, Petersen, Ecco Finishing and MicroConnex. Sound shareholder-friendly policies too add to the stock’s attractiveness. The acquisition of Henry Company is expected to add $1.25 per share to 2022 earnings.For the Carlisle Construction Materials (“CCM”) segment, the strengthening business in the reroofing markets of the United States and Europe as well as growth in architectural metals and polyurethane platforms are proving advantageous.Then again, focus on expanding the medical technologies platform, demand in the medical business, and improvements in the commercial aerospace business is favoring the Carlisle Interconnect Technologies (“CIT”) segment.

Revenues of CIT, however, are likely to decline in the mid-single digits. Also, supply-chain restrictions, inflationary pressures, and raw materials are problematic.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Carlisle’s earnings per share is pegged at $9.21 for 2021 and $13.18 for 2022, suggesting year-over-year growth of 56.6% and 43.2%, respectively.
