AZZ Inc. reports third-quarter results after the market close on January 7, with analysts expecting earnings growth to $1.49 per share. Here's how top Wall Street forecasters are positioning themselves ahead of the announcement.

AZZ Inc. (AZZ) is set to report its third-quarter earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday, January 7, 2025, and Wall Street's top analysts have been busy adjusting their expectations.

The Draper, Utah-based company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.49 per share, which would represent a solid improvement from the $1.39 per share reported in the same period last year. Revenue forecasts are equally optimistic, with the consensus estimate sitting at $419.47 million compared to $403.65 million a year earlier.

Of course, context matters here. Back on October 9, AZZ delivered second-quarter results that fell short of Wall Street's expectations, which tends to make investors a bit nervous heading into the next report. Despite that stumble, shares closed Friday at $109.74, up 2.4% for the day.

What the Analysts Are Saying

Here's how some of Wall Street's most accurate analysts have been positioning themselves on AZZ recently:

Wells Fargo analyst Timna Tanners kept an Overweight rating on October 10, 2025, but trimmed the price target from $128 down to $121. Tanners has a 71% accuracy rate on their calls.

B. Riley Securities analyst Lucas Pipes maintained a Buy rating and actually raised the price target from $131 to $140 on September 17, 2025. Pipes boasts a 78% accuracy rate, making this optimistic call worth noting.

Evercore ISI Group analyst Stephen Richardson stuck with an Outperform rating on July 9, 2025, and bumped the price target from $90 to $108. Richardson's accuracy rate stands at 61%.

Sidoti & Co. analyst John Franzreb took a more cautious stance, downgrading AZZ from Buy to Neutral on June 9, 2025, with a $101 price target. Franzreb has a solid 74% accuracy rate.

Roth MKM analyst Gerry Sweeney initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $108 price target on February 11, 2025. Sweeney's accuracy rate is 66%.

The range of price targets spans from $101 to $140, which tells you that analysts aren't exactly in lockstep on where this stock is headed. But the overall sentiment leans positive, with most maintaining bullish ratings despite the company's recent earnings miss.
