Did BRC Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
Yes. Brady reported Q4 2026 earnings of $1.48 a share on Sep 3, 2026, beating the $1.47 consensus estimate by 1.0%. Revenue was $436.9M against a $427.9M estimate.
Brady Corporation delivered a clean beat across the board in Q4 FY2026, extending its streak of exceeding consensus EPS estimates to five consecutive quarters. The identification solutions company reported adjusted EPS of $1.48, edging past the $1.47 consensus by 1.02%, while revenue of $436.90 million topped estimates by 2.10% and grew 10.0% year over year. The quarter's standout driver was the Americas and Asia segment, where wire identification products grew nearly 20% fueled by datacenter buildout, commercial construction, and industrial manufacturing demand, helping lift gross profit margin to 52.9% from 50.4% a year ago. GAAP results were weighed down by $22.24 million in acquisition-related costs tied to the recently closed IPS transaction, excluded from adjusted figures. Looking ahead, management guided FY2027 adjusted diluted EPS of $6.25 to $6.75, with the IPS segment, expected to contribute approximately $1.15 billion in revenue, providing roughly $0.80 of accretion as Brady's addressable market expands to approximately $14.00 billion.

What Is Brady's Outlook?
Brady expects FY2027 Adjusted Diluted EPS of $6.25 to $6.75, representing 18.1% to 27.6% growth versus FY2026. The IPS segment is expected to contribute approximately $0.80 of Adjusted Diluted EPS accretion (net of financing costs), with the majority in the second half as integration progresses. The IPS segment is expected to contribute approximately $1.15 billion in revenue. The IDS segment is expected to grow approximately 5% organically. IDS segment profit margin is expected to be approximately 20%, while IPS segment profit margin is expected to be in the low-double digits. Additional assumptions include depreciation expense of approximately $45 million, capital expenditures of approximately $40 million, a full-year income tax rate of approximately 21%, and foreign currency exchange rates as of July 31, 2026. The Americas & Asia segment outlook calls for mid-single digit organic sales growth, while Europe & Australia is expected to deliver low-single digit organic sales growth.
