Tennant's latest quarter showed net sales rising 1.7% year-over-year to $324 million, supported by demand and robotics growth, but adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 10.9% from 16% a year earlier as operating expenses and ERP-related inefficiencies weighed on profitability. The results have prompted renewed attention on valuation, with commentary pointing to a fair value estimate of $87.75 even as the stock has declined sharply in recent sessions.
Shares closed at $66.20, up 0.4% on the day but down 3.7% over the past month and 22.3% over three months, trading below both the 50-day average of $69.66 and the 200-day average of $76.64, with the shorter average beneath the longer one. The GekkoIndex reads 63.1, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while the price sits 19.2% below Gekko Fair Value of $81.91.
Tennant's next earnings report is set for 2 November 2026, falling inside the coming 20 trading-day window; the prior quarter's report triggered a 13.8% reaction. Over the last 90 days, insiders made 3 open-market purchases totaling $849,240. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged a 4.5% gain over the next 20 trading days across 5 years, rising in 4 of them.
