Grainger Q2 2026: sales up 10.3%, EPS $12.01, outlook raised
Grainger beat on the top and bottom line: Q2 revenue of $5.02 billion rose 10.3% and EPS of $12.01 came in 5.2% above the $11.42 consensus, while management raised full-year sales and EPS guidance. The quarter leaned on real volume growth plus a $43 million tariff refund, so read the margin gain as part good business, part one-time help.
