Araverus Market Read

Thursday, March 19, 2026

Positive

A.O. Smith gains 1.45% pre-market on record 2025 EPS but guidance tempered by steel price headwinds and weak China.

AOS rose 1.45% pre-market after reporting record 2025 EPS of $3.85 (up 6% YoY) with $3.8B total sales driven by strong $3B North American performance. 2026 guidance projects EPS of $3.85-$4.15 with 2-5% revenue growth, though offset by expectations of 10% higher steel prices and a flat U.S. residential water heater market. Chinese market restructuring needs continue to pose headwinds.
