Q2 FY2026 EarningsQ2 FY26 results were mixed, with revenue of $245.4M beating the $226.6M consensus by 8.3%, driven by the Frigomeccanica and Oka acquisitions. However, GAAP EPS of $0.24 (calculated based on 45.2M shares) significantly missed the $0.54 consensus, primarily due to a 49.3% effective tax rate—far exceeding the 24.0% expected—alongside higher separation and compensation costs post-Spin-off. Gross margin of 35.3% missed the 38.5% target due to inflationary pressures and unfavorable product mix. Management authorized a $50M share repurchase program to mitigate dilution, but the elevated tax and margin headwinds remain key points of concern.
