AI summary

IDEX shares traded at $231.15 on 28 September, up 0.47 percent, with the company confirming it will release third-quarter results and host an investor call. Recent sessions have been shaped by the Q2 2026 report, in which adjusted earnings of $2.32 per share and revenue of $920.6 million topped estimates, with revenue up 6.4%, prompting several days of gains near the stock's 52-week high. Separately, coverage compared IDEX's year-to-date performance against Murata Manufacturing within the industrial products sector.

The stock sits above both its 50-day ($229.15) and 200-day ($209.87) averages, with the shorter average above the longer one, a configuration consistent with an ongoing uptrend.

The 52-week range spans $159.27 to $243.80.

Last earnings call, Apr 29, 2026 AI summary

What they said
IDEX delivered Q1 2026 organic sales growth of 5% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 26%, representing 50 basis points of year-over-year expansion, beating expectations. Orders grew 10% organically, led by HST segment strength in data center, semiconductor, and space/defense markets. FMT segment orders grew 9% organically driven by water and pumps businesses. Strong backlog build in HST improves visibility into 2027.
Guidance
Management raised full year 2026 financial outlook based on Q1 outperformance and backlog build. HST segment backlog provides visibility for continued solid growth through 2026 and into 2027. Specific revenue and EPS targets were deferred to CFO Sean Gillen's portion of the call.
