Myers Industries reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.53, well ahead of the $0.36 consensus estimate — a 47% beat that continued a strong run of positive surprises after the company also topped expectations in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. Revenue came in at $179.2 million, about 8% above the $166 million estimate, even as total sales fell 14.5% year-over-year — a decline the company has been deliberately engineering by walking away from low-margin business.
The quality of what remains on the books is improving sharply. Gross margins widened 300 basis points to 34.3%, and operating income jumped 56%, reflecting the gains from Myers' Focused Transformation program. The Infrastructure segment was a standout, posting 52% year-over-year growth, providing a meaningful counterweight to the volume that has been shed elsewhere in the portfolio.
