Graco (ISIN US3841091040) was last at USD 78.89 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up USD 0.06 or 0.08 percent from the prior close. According to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026, Zacks Research raised its Q4 2026 EPS estimate to USD 0.84 from USD 0.83.

Q2 earnings beat expectations

Graco's latest reported quarter delivered adjusted EPS of USD 0.91 against a USD 0.81 consensus estimate, a USD 0.10 beat. According to MarketBeat, the result was reported for the quarter ended June 26, 2026.

Revenue reached USD 590.55 million in Q2 2026, up 3.3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, but below the USD 608.06 million consensus estimate. Net income was USD 144.9 million, while the net margin was 23.53 percent, according to MarketBeat.

Consensus target stays higher

MarketBeat reported a consensus Hold rating from seven brokerages, including five Hold ratings and two Buy ratings. The average 12-month target was USD 95.00, compared with the USD 78.89 NYSE price, placing the target 20.4 percent above the price.

The spread between earnings and revenue is important for the next update: Graco exceeded the Q2 EPS estimate by USD 0.10, yet revenue missed consensus by USD 17.51 million. That combination makes sales growth the key operating measure for the next report, particularly after the company posted 3.3 percent year-over-year revenue growth in Q2 2026.

Q3 results set for October 21

According to Business Wire on October 1, 2026, Graco will release Q3 2026 results after the NYSE closes on October 21, 2026. Management scheduled the conference call for October 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. EDT.
