AMETEK Q2 FY2026: record $2.04 billion sales, raised full-year guidance

The $0.32 gap between the two lines is acquisition-related intangible amortization, financing fees and integration costs. Adjusted operating margin was 26.6%, which the company says is 60 basis points better than a year ago.
Revenue was $2.04 billion, up 15.0% from $1.78 billion in the same quarter last year, with gross margin of 36.0% versus 35.8%. Cost of revenue of $1.31 billion ate up 64.1% of every sales dollar, so the extra volume barely moved gross margin. Electronic Instruments contributed $1.32 billion of sales and Electromechanical $723.2 million.
