As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on July 30, 2026.
ACCO Brands crushed second-quarter estimates on both earnings and sales, raising full-year guidance after the EPOS acquisition and back-to-school momentum offset softness in international office products. EPS beat by 8.7% while revenue climbed 5.1% year-over-year, powered by strong North American demand and favorable currency.

ACCO Brands reported second-quarter 2026 earnings per share of $0.29, clearing the consensus estimate of roughly $0.27 by about 8.7%. Revenue came in at $415.1 million, topping expectations of $402.5 million by just over 3%. The results were driven by strong North American demand, back-to-school momentum, the contribution of the EPOS acquisition, and a tailwind from favorable currency moves, even as international office products showed some softness.
The quarter continues a broadly positive recent trend for ACCO. The company swung to a small profit of $0.02 per share in Q1 2026 against an estimate of a $0.05 loss, and it matched consensus exactly in Q4 2025 at $0.38. The back-to-back beats on both earnings and revenue in Q2 were enough for management to raise its full-year guidance, a meaningful signal given the mixed international backdrop.

Investors will want to keep an eye on how the EPOS acquisition continues to integrate and whether North American back-to-school demand holds its pace into the second half of the year. International softness remains a variable worth watching, particularly if currency tailwinds fade.
