As the Q1 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter's best and worst performers in the engineered components and systems industry, including NN (NASDAQ:NNBR) and its peers.

Engineered components and systems companies possess technical know-how in sometimes narrow areas such as metal forming or intelligent robotics. Lately, automation and connected equipment collecting analyzable data have been trending, creating new demand. On the other hand, like the broader industrials sector, engineered components and systems companies are at the whim of economic cycles. Consumer spending and interest rates, for example, can greatly impact the industrial production that drives demand for these companies’ offerings.

The 11 engineered components and systems stocks we track reported a slower Q1; on average, revenues were in line with analyst consensus estimates. Inflation progressed towards the Fed's 2% goal at the end of 2023, leading to strong stock market performance. The start of 2024 has been a bumpier ride, as the market switches between optimism and pessimism around rate cuts due to mixed inflation data, and engineered components and systems stocks have held roughly steady amidst all this, with share prices up 2.1% on average since the previous earnings results.

NN (NASDAQ:NNBR) Formerly known as Nuturn, NN (NASDAQGS:NNBR) provides metal components, bearings, and plastic and rubber components to the automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors.

NN reported revenues of $121.2 million, down 4.6% year on year, in line with analysts' expectations. Overall, it was a weak quarter for the company with a miss of analysts' earnings estimates.

“In the first quarter, we continued to execute our strategic transformation, which yielded continued improvement in base business profitability and additive new business wins,” said Harold Bevis, President and Chief Executive Officer.

The stock is down 10% since reporting and currently trades at $3.42.
