Lindenwold Advisors INC recently adjusted its holdings in RBC Bearings Incorporated, signaling broader movements within the industrial products sector’s investment landscape.
The firm reduced its stake by 15.7% during the first quarter, divesting 160 shares and holding 860 shares valued at $277,000. This strategic move by Lindenwold Advisors reflects an ongoing evaluation of portfolio allocations in the current market.
Despite Lindenwold’s reduction, numerous other major investors have shown increased confidence in RBC Bearings. Entities like NBC Securities Inc., Thurston Springer Miller Herd & Titak Inc., Golden State Wealth Management LLC, UMB Bank n.a., and Quarry LP have significantly grown their positions, acquiring new shares and boosting their holdings by notable percentages during recent quarters.
Market sentiment regarding RBC Bearings stock remains largely positive among equities research analysts. Firms such as Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, The Goldman Sachs Group, Truist Financial, and KeyCorp have issued various “buy” and “overweight” ratings, with a consensus “Moderate Buy” rating and an average price target around $421.17, indicating potential for continued growth.
However, recent insider activity reveals notable sales by the company’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer. Both executives sold substantial amounts of shares in June, totaling over $22 million, which significantly decreased their direct ownership percentages and were duly disclosed in SEC filings.
Financially, RBC Bearings stock has demonstrated resilience, trading around $387.01 with a positive 50-day and 200-day moving average trend. The company maintains solid financial health, reflected in its robust current ratio of 3.26, a quick ratio of 1.18, and a manageable debt-to-equity ratio of 0.30, underpinning its market capitalization of $12.22 billion.
The industrial products company reported strong quarterly earnings, surpassing analyst expectations with $2.83 EPS against a consensus of $2.70. While revenue slightly missed estimates, the 5.8% year-over-year revenue growth and a healthy net margin of 15.05% highlight RBC Bearings’ operational efficiency and profitability.
