Quarterly numbers set the tone
The same report says EPS of USD 3.24 was USD 1.02 above the consensus estimate of USD 2.22, while revenue was about 5 percent higher than a year earlier. The article also puts net profit at about USD 324.3 million and a net margin near 14.6 percent, a combination that gives investors a cleaner read on profitability than revenue alone, according to ad hoc news.
Dividend and leverage matter
MarketBeat is cited in the same coverage as saying the dividend was lifted to USD 1.12 per share and that the yield was around 3.6 percent at a share price a little above USD 120. Ground News also says the rally has been tied to the earnings beat and a reduction in leverage to 2.9x, with volume trends still worth watching for the durability of the move.
