Summary
Q2 sales rose 6.3% to $671M, beating the $657M consensus, while EPS jumped 25% to $3.09. The beat was driven by price increases tied to tariffs and cost savings, though volumes softened in North America. Gross margin expanded on lower material costs and a $5.5M eminent domain settlement. Management raised the buyback authorization by $50M after repurchasing $48.7M in the quarter, and set 2026 operating margin guidance at 19.7%-20.5%. This follows the 8-K filed earlier today with top-line figures; the full release adds granularity on segment drivers and capital allocation.
