GRACO INC (GGG) Form 10-Q — Oct 21, 2026
Graco reported record third quarter sales of $586.4 million, up 8% year over year, with growth in all three segments and all regions, and organic orders up 7% in the quarter. GAAP net earnings nonetheless fell 12% to $121.6 million ($0.75 diluted EPS vs. $0.82 last year), mainly because a $14 million prior-year contingent consideration gain did not repeat and gross margin compressed about 3 points on higher product costs and dilutive acquired operations. Adjusted diluted EPS rose 5% to $0.81.
