Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Shares of Robbins & Myers (NYSE: RBN), an equipment manufacturer for the oil and gas sector, are gushing higher by 10.5% today after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results.

So what: For the quarter, Robbins & Myers earned $0.84 on a 39% jump in revenue to $255.9 million. This easily trounced Wall Street's expectations for $0.75 in EPS and sales of $238.8 million. Its second-quarter profit also nearly tripled the $0.32 it earned in the year-ago period. Citing strong demand from the energy sector, the company highlighted its acquisition of T-3 Energy Systems as the primary growth driver in its bottom-line results.

Now what: In addition to beating in the current quarter, Robbins & Myers also upped its full-year guidance to a range of $3.40-$3.60 from its previous guidance of $3.00-$3.20. With oil staying easily above $100 per barrel, the need for the company's products seems to be relatively unaffected by decade-low natural gas prices. It's very likely this recent strength in earnings will continue and the company still boasts an attractive valuation. I'll be adding it to my watchlist.
