What To Expect From Gorman-Rupp's (GRC) Q2 Earnings
Gorman-Rupp (NYSE:GRC) manufactures and sells pumps globally. will be announcing earnings results this Friday before the bell. Here's what to expect. Gorman-Rupp missed analysts' revenue expectations by 0.5% last quarter, reporting revenues of $163.9 million, up 2.9% year on year. It was a satisfactory quarter for the company, with a solid beat of analysts' EBITDA estimates. Is Gorman-Rupp a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Gorman-Rupp's revenue to grow 3% year on year to $174.6 million, improving from its flat revenue in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.57 per share. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Gorman-Rupp has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates five times over the last two years. Looking at Gorman-Rupp's peers in the industrial machinery segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Graco delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 3.4%, missing analysts' expectations by 3.1%, and GE Aerospace reported revenues up 21.2%, topping estimates by 15.6%. GE Aerospace traded down 1.1% following the results. Read our full analysis of Graco's results here and GE Aerospace's results here. There has been positive sentiment among investors in the industrial machinery segment, with share prices up 7.7% on average over the last month. Gorman-Rupp is up 4.1% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $53 (compared to the current share price of $37.94). When a company has more cash than it knows what to do with, buying back its own shares can make a lot of sense–as long as the price is right. Luckily, we've found one, a low-priced stock that is gushing free cash flow AND buying back shares.

Graco Reports Second Quarter Results
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Graco Inc. (NYSE: GGG) today announced results for the second quarter ended June 27, 2025. Summary $ in millions except per share amounts (1) Excludes the impact of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises. See Financial Results Adjusted for Comparability below for a reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP. Expand Net sales for the second quarter increased 3 percent. Incremental sales from acquired operations contributed 6 percentage points of sales growth. EMEA and Asia Pacific sales growth was partially offset by a decrease in the Americas. The gross profit margin rate declined approximately 2 percentage points for the second quarter due to higher product costs, including $4 million of increased tariff costs, and the unfavorable effects of lower margin rates from acquired operations. Total operating expenses for the second quarter increased 2 percentage points, including a total of 7 percentage points from acquired operations. Excluding the impact of acquired operations, operating expenses decreased $7 million (5 percentage points). Other non-operating income decreased $3 million for the quarter, mostly due to $5 million of exchange losses on net liabilities of certain foreign operations and lower interest income. Net earnings decreased 4 percent for the second quarter due to a lower gross margin rate and lower non-operating income. Other notable items for the year to date included an increase in cash flow from operations of $50 million to $308 million, primarily reflective of reductions in inventory levels. Year-to-date share repurchases totaled 4.4 million shares for $361 million. "Overall sales were up 3% in the quarter despite an organic revenue decline of 3%, primarily due to lower sales in the Contractor segment," said Mark Sheahan, Graco's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Contractor segment organic sales decline was driven by softness in the North American construction markets, cautious channel and contractor investment, and reduced foot traffic in the home centers. The Americas drove the organic revenue decline as we saw growth in volume in both the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions. In addition, sales of powder finishing equipment continued to be strong during the quarter with improved activity in China." Consolidated Results Net sales for the second quarter increased 3 percent from the comparable period last year. Second quarter net sales decreased 3 percent in the Americas, increased 19 percent in EMEA (14 percent at consistent translation rates), and increased 12 percent in Asia Pacific (13 percent at consistent translation rates). Year-to-date net sales increased 5 percent compared to last year (6 percent at consistent translation rates). Year-to-date net sales increased 1 percent in the Americas, increased 14 percent in EMEA (13 percent at consistent translation rates), and increased 12 percent in Asia Pacific (14 percent at consistent translation rates). Changes in currency translation rates increased worldwide sales by $4 million for the second quarter and decreased worldwide sales by $3 million for the year to date. Acquired operations contributed $32 million of sales growth for the second quarter and $62 million of sales growth for the year to date. The gross profit margin rate declined approximately 2 percentage points for both the second quarter and year to date from the comparable periods last year due to higher product costs, including $4 million of increased tariff costs, and the unfavorable effects of lower margin rates from acquired operations. Total operating expenses increased $3 million (2 percent) for the second quarter and $3 million (1 percent) for the year to date, respectively, compared to last year. Incremental expenses from acquired operations of $9 million for the quarter and $19 million for the year to date were partially offset by decreases in product development spending, sales and earnings-based incentives and share-based compensation. The second quarter and year to date periods last year included $3 million of expenses associated with the relocation to a new distribution center. Other non-operating income decreased $3 million for both the second quarter and year to date from the comparable periods last year and included exchange losses on net liabilities of certain foreign operations of $5 million for the quarter and $8 million for the year to date. Favorable market valuation changes on investments held to fund certain retirement benefits partially offset these exchange losses. Other income for the year to date included a $5 million gain in the first quarter from the sale of a former manufacturing and distribution facility in Switzerland. The effective income tax rate was 19 percent for both the second quarter and the year to date. Adjusted to exclude the impacts of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises (see Financial Results Adjusted for Comparability below), the adjusted effective income tax rate of 20 percent for both the quarter and year to date was comparable to the respective periods last year. Segment Results Management assesses performance of segments by reference to operating earnings excluding unallocated corporate expenses. For a reconciliation of segment operating earnings to consolidated operating earnings, refer to the segment information table included in the financial statement section of this release. Certain measurements of segment operations are summarized below: Components of net sales change by geographic region for the Contractor segment were as follows: Incremental sales from acquired operations in the Contractor segment for the quarter and year to date were partially offset by weakness in worldwide construction markets, particularly in North America. The operating margin rate declined 5 percentage points for the quarter and year to date, including 3 percentage points from higher product costs, mainly due to increased tariffs, and 2 percentage points from the unfavorable effects of lower margin rates of acquired operations. Components of net sales change by geographic region for the Industrial segment were as follows: Industrial segment sales for the second quarter were flat and increased 2 percentage points for the year to date as favorable volumes in EMEA and Asia Pacific offset decreased sales in the Americas. The operating margin rate for this segment was flat for the quarter as realized pricing offset unfavorable product and channel mix and higher product costs. The year to date operating margin increased 1 percentage point as realized pricing and lower expenses more than offset higher product costs. Components of net sales change by geographic region for the Expansion Markets segment were as follows: Expansion Market net sales decreased for the second quarter as continued sales growth in the semiconductor product application was more than offset by decreased sales in the environmental product application. For the year to date, double-digit sales growth in the semiconductor product application more than offset softness in other applications. The operating margin rate for this segment increased for both the quarter and year to date driven by increased sales volume and lower expenses. Outlook "Component costs have risen due to tariffs introduced this quarter," said Sheahan. "To help offset these higher costs, we will implement a targeted price increase beginning in September. Although the timing of this action differs from our usual approach, it is a necessary response to the current trade environment facing industrial manufacturers and should help mitigate the effects of the tariffs. This pricing decision, along with our upcoming new product launches and the steady order rates we saw throughout the quarter, gives us confidence in our previous guidance for the rest of the year. We are maintaining our 2025 revenue outlook of low single-digit sales growth on an organic constant-currency basis." Financial Results Adjusted for Comparability Excluding the impact of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises presents a more consistent basis for comparison of financial results. A calculation of the non-GAAP adjusted measurements of income taxes, effective income tax rate, net earnings and diluted earnings per share follows (in millions except per share amounts): Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements The Company desires to take advantage of the 'safe harbor' provisions regarding forward-looking statements of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is filing this Cautionary Statement in order to do so.

The post was shared on the Facebook group, Insider tip from a Tesco employee A Tesco employee has revealed a surprising secret about the self-scan trolleys. According to the worker, random checks on customers using these trolleys are not entirely random. The checks are actually triggered by a specific customer habit. If you frequently pick up and put down items without scanning them, you're more likely to be selected for a check. This is due to the system detecting suspicious behaviour, which could indicate potential theft. So, to avoid delays, it's best to scan items immediately after placing them in your trolley. Parents were quick to thank Emma for sharing the deals. One person wrote: "Wow. Will see if I can order now. Or go after work." Advertisement Another commented: "That's really good!" "That's cheap with Clubcard," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "We need one of these and they're cheaper now." Someone else added: "I want one I'll have to have a look for one in Tesco."
