Brady sold its French first-aid business Securimed to Safe Life International for EUR 53.00 million on October 1, 2026, while Brady Corporation stock was at EUR 75.25 after-hours at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026. FinanzNachrichten reported the transaction and identified the New York Stock Exchange listing as BRC.
Three milestones shape the strategy
On August 3, 2026, Brady completed its Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services acquisition, which was expected to add USD 0.80 of adjusted diluted earnings per share in the first year. On September 1, 2026, the board raised the annual dividend from USD 0.98 to USD 1.00 per share. On October 1, 2026, Brady sold Securimed for EUR 53.00 million. Brady Corporation published the acquisition and dividend details, while FinanzNachrichten carried the sale announcement.
What does the divestiture mean for Brady
The sale narrows Brady's portfolio around identification, safety and productivity solutions rather than first-aid distribution. The disclosed EUR 53.00 million proceeds are small beside the company's industrial platform, but the transaction gives management a clearer perimeter after the Honeywell deal.
Quarterly revenue beat expectations
Fiscal fourth-quarter revenue rose 10.00 percent year over year to USD 436.90 million, versus a USD 427.91 million consensus estimate. Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.48 against USD 1.47 expected, according to MarketBeat on October 4, 2026.
The same report said Wall Street Zen raised Brady from Hold to Buy and that the broader consensus target was USD 103.00. That target is a separate US-dollar reference and does not replace the euro price used for the German investor perspective.
Two dividend dates follow
The next dated shareholder events are the October 9, 2026 ex-dividend date and the October 30, 2026 payment date for the USD 0.25 quarterly dividend, according to Simply Wall St.
