Executive summary

  • Achieved record Q2 2026 sales of $8.53 billion, up 21% year-over-year, with 14% organic growth and 7% from acquisitions.

  • Adjusted EPS reached $3.15, a Q2 record, exceeding guidance, with segment margins at 23.1%, both above expectations.

  • Robust order momentum and record backlogs across Electrical Americas, Electrical Global, and Aerospace segments, with book-to-bill ratios at 1.2–1.3.

  • Announced the planned separation of the Mobility business via a Reverse Morris Trust with Dana, expected to close in Q1 2027 and deliver a $1.1B cash distribution.

  • Major acquisitions (Boyd Thermal, Ultra PCS, Fibrebond, Resilient Power) and portfolio transformation drive growth and margin expansion.

Financial highlights

  • Adjusted EPS for Q2 2026 was $3.15 (up 7% YoY), and $5.96 for the first half, both records; net income attributable to shareholders was $821 million, down from $982 million in Q2 2025.

  • Segment operating profit rose 17% to $1.97B; segment margins were 23.1%, above guidance but down 80 bps year-over-year.

  • Operating cash flow was $1.1 billion for Q2 2026 (up 23% YoY), and $1.63 billion for the first half; free cash flow was $874 million for Q2 2026.

  • Gross profit margin decreased to 33.5% in Q2 2026 from 37.0% in Q2 2025, mainly due to inflation and increased amortization.

  • Effective tax rate increased to 28.1% in Q2 2026, driven by higher income in high-tax jurisdictions and acquisition-related taxes.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year 2026 organic growth expected at 11–13%, with segment margins of 24.1–24.5% and adjusted EPS guidance raised to $13.40–$13.60.

  • Strong backlog and end-market demand provide visibility and confidence for 2026 and 2027.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
