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.
