What's Happening?
Ralliant, a company recently spun off from Fortive, has announced its first quarterly earnings as an independent entity. The company reported $503 million in revenues and a net income of $48 million. Ralliant operates in two segments: Test and Measurement, and Sensors and Safety Systems. The Test and Measurement segment experienced a 15% year-over-year revenue decline, attributed to a slowdown in the automotive sector in Western Europe and China. However, there was a 2% increase from the previous quarter. The Sensors segment maintained stable revenues of $311 million. Ralliant is implementing a cost-cutting program aimed at saving $9-11 million annually, focusing on inefficiencies from the spinoff. Additionally, the company plans a $200 million share buy-back.
