Q2 Revenue Beats by $37M, Adjusted EPS Tops Estimates Amid Take-Private Deal
DSGR sits 83% above its 52-week low of $19.02.
Summary
Q2 revenue jumped 11% to $557.7M, beating the $520.4M consensus, while adjusted EPS of $0.47 topped the $0.41 estimate. Organic sales grew 10.2% across all verticals, with an additional $4.1M from the Eastern Valve acquisition. Gross margin slipped due to mix shifts and higher tariffs, partially offset by pricing. This strong quarter lands against the backdrop of the pending $35/share take-private by a CEO-led buyer group, which already has 78.7% voting support. The earnings beat reinforces the deal's valuation but doesn't change the merger calculus.
