BERWYN, Pa., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AMETEK, Inc. (NYSE: AME) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
AMETEK’s second quarter 2026 sales were a record $2.04 billion, a 15% increase over the second quarter of 2025. On a GAAP basis, second quarter earnings were a record $1.77 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings in the quarter were a record $2.09 per diluted share, up 17% from the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted earnings adds back non-cash, after-tax, acquisition-related intangible amortization, financing fees and integration costs of $0.32 per diluted share.
GAAP operating income was a record $528.2 million. Adjusted operating income increased 18% to a record $544.4 million and operating margins were 26.6% in the quarter, up 60 basis points from the prior year. Operating cash flow in the quarter was up 35% to $483.7 million and free cash flow to net income conversion was 111%. A reconciliation of reported GAAP results to adjusted results is included in the financial tables accompanying this release and on the AMETEK website.
“AMETEK delivered superb results in the second quarter. Strong organic sales growth, contributions from recent acquisitions, and outstanding operating performance led to high-teens earnings growth, excellent 110 basis points of core margin expansion and record operating performance,” stated David A. Zapico, AMETEK Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Notably, for the second quarter in a row, orders were exceptional, growing 28% in the quarter.”
Electronic Instruments Group (EIG)
EIG sales in the second quarter were $1.32 billion, an increase of 14% over the same period in 2025. On a GAAP basis, EIG’s second quarter operating income was $369.8 million. On an adjusted basis, EIG’s operating income was up 12% to $384.7 million.
“EIG generated outstanding results in the second quarter with mid-teens sales growth, sizeable orders growth and excellent operating performance,” commented Mr. Zapico. “Sales growth in the quarter was balanced between organic growth and contributions from recent acquisitions, with excellent orders growth highlighted by our semiconductor and commercial aerospace markets. Further, EIG’s strong operating performance drove core margins up 40 basis points to 30.1%.”
Electromechanical Group (EMG)
EMG sales in the second quarter were a record $723.2 million, up 17% from the second quarter of 2025. In the quarter, EMG’s GAAP operating income was $189.3 million. On an adjusted basis, EMG’s operating income increased 32% to a record $190.5 million and operating income margins were 26.3%.
“EMG delivered exceptional results in the second quarter. Strong organic sales growth resulted in sizeable profit growth and 290 basis points of core margin expansion,” noted Mr. Zapico. “Orders growth was also outstanding and broad-based in the quarter with notable strength in medtech, defense and automation markets.”
Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook
“Our businesses performed exceptionally well in the second quarter highlighting the strength of the AMETEK Growth Model, the quality of our business and the attractiveness of our markets. Our broad-based sales and orders growth reflects our unique position as a mission critical provider of highly differentiated solutions supporting strong secular growth markets including the global infrastructure build-out,” added Mr. Zapico.
“For 2026, we now expect overall sales to be up approximately 10% versus 2025. Adjusted earnings per diluted share are now expected to be in the range of $8.20 to $8.30, up 10% to 12% over the comparable basis for 2025. This is an increase from our prior guidance range of $7.94 to $8.14 per diluted share reflecting our strong underlying performance and outlook for the balance of the year,” he added.
“For the third quarter of 2026, overall sales are expected to be up high single digits on a percentage basis compared to the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted earnings in the quarter are anticipated to be in the range of $2.08 to $2.10 per share, up 10% to 11% compared to the third quarter of 2025,” concluded Mr. Zapico.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis with certain non-GAAP financial information to provide investors with greater insight, increased transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the accompanying financial tables. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measure, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The non-GAAP financial measures referenced in this press release include adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted earnings per share. These measures are adjusted to exclude items that management does not consider indicative of AMETEK’s ongoing operational performance, such as after-tax acquisition-related intangible amortization, one-time acquisition-related costs (including transaction related costs, purchase accounting adjustments, and integration related costs).
In providing forward-looking guidance for quarterly and full-year GAAP and non-GAAP measures, the Company has not included adjustments, such as acquisition-related costs, whose timing and/or magnitude are contingent on future events.
The Company believes that these measures provide useful information to investors by reflecting additional ways of viewing AMETEK’s operations that, when reconciled to the comparable GAAP measure, helps our investors to better understand the long-term profitability trends of our business, and facilitates easier comparisons of our profitability to prior and future periods and to our peers.
