Hurco Keeps Delivering, But The Cycle Appears To Be Slowing

If fiscal third quarter results are a fair indication, it looks like my concerns about a slowdown in business at Hurco (HURC) ahead of a major fall tradeshow were misplaced. Although Hurco did see some sequential slowdown in orders, that’s not uncommon in the summer and the business overall seems to be in good shape, while industrial customers continue to look to add production capacity.

Experienced investors know that the good times for Hurco, DMG Mori (OTCPK:MRSKY), Milacron (MCRN) and other industrial equipment manufacturers won’t last forever, but this latest earnings cycle has offered more positive commentary compared to earlier this year and many manufacturers are bumping into capacity constraints. While global trade tensions are a threat, and I wouldn’t go too far out on a limb to chase Hurco, I don’t think the cycle is over just yet.
