Veralto posted Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.11, topping the $1.01 consensus estimate by about 10%. Revenue came in at $1.47 billion, edging past expectations of roughly $1.45 billion. The quarter extended a consistent pattern of beats — the company has now exceeded analyst EPS estimates in each of the past eight reported quarters.
