Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
Sales increased 6% with EPS growing 20% to $1.04 as North American plumbing volumes came in better than expected with 9% segment growth. Operating margin expanded 90 basis points to 16.9% with the executive committee restructured for direct business unit reporting to the new CEO. FY2026 EPS guidance was maintained at $4.10-$4.30 as commodity inflation from oil price disruption was expected to offset tariff favorability.
