/Parker-Hannifin%20Corp_%20logo%20on%20phone%20and%20site-by%20T_Schneider%20via%20Shutterstock.jpg)
With a market cap of around $85 billion, Parker-Hannifin Corporation (PH) manufactures and sells motion and control technologies and systems for various mobile, industrial, and aerospace markets worldwide. Based in Cleveland, Ohio, the company operates through two segments: Diversified Industrial and Aerospace Systems.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as “large-cap stocks”, and Parker-Hannifin fits this criterion perfectly. The company is known for precision-engineered solutions, and specializes in fluid power systems, electromechanical controls, and advanced materials.
Shares of Parker-Hannifin have dipped 7.4% from its 52-week high of $718.44. PH stock has gained 6.4% over the past three months, lagging behind the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund’s (XLI) 9.1% increase.
Over the past 52 weeks, shares of PH have soared 29.8%, notably outperforming the XLI's 18.2% uptick. However, on a YTD basis, Parker-Hannifin stock has gained 4.6%, underperforming XLI’s 9.2% return.
The stock has risen above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since early May.
Parker-Hannifin rose marginally following the release of its Q3 2025 results on May 1. Quarterly revenue for the company declined 2.2% from the year-ago quarter to $4.9 billion, and missed the Wall Street expectations. The revenue decline was driven by lower sales in the North America and International segments, partially offset by growth in the Aerospace Systems segment. Adjusted EPS came in at $6.94, up 7% year-over-year and exceeding analysts' estimate of $6.73.
Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, the company expects adjusted EPS to range between $26.60 and $26.80.
In contrast, rival Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) has lagged behind the PH stock. Shares of Eaton have increased 3.5% over the past 52 weeks and have dropped 1.4% on a YTD basis.
Due to the stock’s outperformance over the past year, analysts are bullish on PH. The stock has a consensus rating of “Strong Buy” from the 19 analysts covering the stock and, as of writing, is trading below the mean price target of $731.94.
