what happened

Industrial equipment maker Graco (GGG) reported third-quarter results: revenue increased 8% to $586 million, and adjusted earnings per share rose 5% to $0.81. According to TradingView, the adjusted operating margin fell 180 basis points to 27%. A separate report on the same results says adjusted operating earnings rose 1%.

The company said bookings, backlog and demand tied to the semiconductor industry strengthened. Organic orders grew 7% during the quarter. For the fourth quarter, Graco expects revenue in the range of $610 million to $640 million.

why it matters

For markets, the key point is not only sales growth but also margins: a lower margin alongside higher revenue points to cost pressure. Stronger orders and a fourth-quarter outlook above the current quarter support interest in industrial equipment and the chip supply chain.
