Grainger reported Q2 2026 results on August 4, 2026. Earnings per share were $12.01, ahead of the $11.30 estimate by 6.31%. Revenue was $5.0 billion, 1.30% above the consensus of about $5.0 billion. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose about 20% from $9.97 and revenue rose about 9% from $4.6 billion.

The longer record shows steady growth. Annual EPS rose from $29.67 in 2022 to $36.65 in 2023, $38.96 in 2024 and $39.48 in 2025. The first half of 2026 adds up to $23.66, about 19% more than the $19.83 of a year earlier. Q2 2026 set the highs in the table for both EPS and revenue. Over the last 20 quarters, Grainger beat the EPS estimate 15 times, matched it once and missed four times. Every miss was under 1%. The largest beat was 15.58%, in Q1 2022.

Grainger reported Q3 between October 26 and October 31 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year gains of the first half carry into the third quarter.
