Lindsay Reports Steep Q2 Revenue Decline, Profit Margins Contract
summarizeSummary
Lindsay Corporation reported Q2 FY2026 results with consolidated revenues of $157.7 million, a 16% decline year-over-year, and net income of $12.0 million, or $1.15 diluted EPS. Operating income significantly decreased to $13.0 million, with operating margins contracting to 8.3% from 17.2% in the prior year. This marks a continued trend of revenue and earnings decline, following a similar pattern in Q1. On a positive note, the company began deliveries on its previously announced $80 million MENA irrigation project and repurchased $25.2 million in shares during the quarter, with backlog increasing to $151.8 million driven by the MENA project. However, the substantial year-over-year revenue and profit contraction, particularly in the infrastructure segment due to a non-recurring project and softer commodity markets in irrigation, indicates ongoing financial headwinds. Traders will be watching for the impact of the MENA project on future quarters and any signs of market recovery.
