Distribution Solutions Group lifts third-quarter revenue 10.7% as buyout awaits approval

what happened

According to TradingView, Distribution Solutions Group posted third-quarter 2026 revenue of $573.6 million, up 10.7% from a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS rose to $0.58 from $0.40, while net income climbed to $8.9 million from $6.5 million. Gross margin slipped to 32.0% from 32.9% due to customer mix and higher tariffs on inbound shipments, partly offset by pricing gains. The company completed its American Fasteners acquisition and closed on GradeEight Holdings after quarter-end. The proposed $35.00-per-share take-private merger with LKCM Headwater affiliates still needs stockholder approval and other closing conditions.

why it matters

For investors, the main driver of the shares is the deal rather than the quarterly report. The offer sits roughly 81% above the March 13 closing price, so the stock will likely track progress on the approval and closing conditions. Watch the gross margin decline alongside revenue growth.
