Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results significantly exceeded consensus across all key metrics: revenue $462.1M vs. $448.8M expected, and diluted GAAP EPS $1.20 vs. $1.02 expected. The beat was driven by a robust 20.6% YoY growth in the Color segment and improved gross margins of 37.4%, which exceeded expectations by 1.91pct, aided by $4.8M in one-time tariff refunds. While operating expenses rose due to performance-based compensation, the completion of the Portfolio Optimization Plan and strong volume growth across all segments led to a substantial operating income beat ($76.7M vs. $67.6M consensus).
