AAON reported record second-quarter 2026 net sales of $627.0 million, up 101.2%, with operating income of $68.9 million and diluted EPS of $0.68, versus $0.19 a year earlier. The company raised its 2026 sales growth outlook to 55%-60% but lowered its gross margin outlook to 25%-26%, from 27%-28%, citing ramp costs and inflation, which matters to shareholders because margins are narrowing even as volume grows.
