Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
Snap-on set a new Q1 record with net sales of $1.272 billion, up 5.8%, and EPS of $4.69 growing 4.0% year-over-year on broad-based organic gains of 3.4%. Tools Group margin expansion continued with gross margin up 140 basis points to 47.7% while tool storage turned positive for the first time, signaling a potential demand thaw in the franchise channel. C&I critical industries delivered high single-digit growth led by aviation, and tariff and currency headwinds were absorbed by Snap-on's domestic manufacturing footprint and RCI continuous improvement methodology.
