Quad/Graphics stock (ISIN US7473011093) closed at USD 9.39 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, down 1.16 percent from the prior close of USD 9.50. The latest company event was an agency award tied to measurable client growth, not a new earnings release.

Agency award carries sales data

According to StockTitan on October 6, 2026, Quad agencies Betty and Rise won a 2026 4As Jay Chiat Silver Award for the CLR Brands campaign So Clean. So Hot. During the campaign period, CLR sales increased 20 percent year over year, sales at a key retailer rose 45 percent, and sales doubled with another e-commerce partner.

The campaign also delivered six consecutive quarters of sales growth for CLR Brands, according to StockTitan. For Quad, the figures show how its creative and media businesses are being presented as performance services rather than only as production capacity.

Q2 margin still sets the test

Quad's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. In the Q2 earnings call, Yahoo Finance reported adjusted diluted EPS of USD 0.24, compared with USD 0.14 in Q2 2025, a 71 percent increase. Net sales reached USD 578 million, up 1 percent year over year.

The same call showed the counter-factor: adjusted EBITDA was USD 42 million versus USD 43 million a year earlier, while adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 7.6 percent to 7.3 percent. Quad reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance of USD 175 million to USD 215 million and free cash flow guidance of USD 40 million to USD 60 million, with the figures reported by Yahoo Finance.
