Did PH Beat Earnings? Q2 2026 Results
Parker Hannifin posted a record-breaking fiscal second quarter for 2026, beating Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines as robust aerospace demand and broad industrial momentum drove results well above consensus. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $7.65, topping the $7.17 estimate by 6.75%, while revenue climbed 9.1% year over year to $5.17 billion, exceeding the $5.07 billion consensus by 2.05%. The standout driver was the Aerospace Systems segment, which delivered record sales of $1.71 billion on 13.5% organic growth, with commercial OEM volumes surging 26% and aftermarket up 17%, pushing adjusted segment operating margin to a record 30.2%.

On the strength of these results, management raised full-year fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $30.40 to $31.00, with reported sales growth now expected between 5.5% and 7.5%, signaling continued confidence in both aerospace momentum and a gradual industrial recovery.
