Brady raises low end of fiscal 2026 EPS guidance as second-quarter sales rise 7.7%
Brady Corporation reported fiscal 2026 second-quarter sales of $384.1 million, up 7.7% from $356.7 million a year earlier, and diluted EPS of $1.01 versus $0.83. It also raised the low end of its full-year fiscal 2026 EPS guidance, which matters to shareholders because the company now expects a narrower range on both GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS.
- Q2 sales rose 7.7% to $384.1 million, with organic growth of 1.6%, acquisitions adding 2.3%, and currency adding 3.8%.
- Adjusted diluted EPS rose 9.0% to $1.09 from $1.00; GAAP diluted EPS was $1.01 versus $0.83.
- Adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the year ending July 31, 2026 is now $4.95 to $5.15, up from $4.90 to $5.15; GAAP guidance is now $4.62 to $4.82, up from $4.57 to $4.82.
