GrafTech Beats Q2 Revenue and EPS Estimates, Reaffirms 2026 Outlook
EAF sits 50% above its 52-week low of $4.92.
Summary
GrafTech posted Q2 revenue of $127.36M, beating the $125M consensus, while adjusted loss per share of $1.47 came in better than the expected $1.65. Sales volume rose 8% year-over-year, though net sales still fell 3% due to a 7% decline in realized pricing. The company reaffirmed its full-year volume growth target of 5–10% and cost reduction expectations, signaling stabilization after deep Q1 losses. This follows the earlier Q2 loss headline but adds the positive surprise on both top and bottom lines, which could shift sentiment for a stock trading near $7. The reaffirmed guidance suggests management sees demand holding up despite competitive pricing pressure.
