ACCO Brands (ISIN US00081T1088) completed its acquisition of Trust on October 2, 2026, expanding its technology peripherals business, according to Investing.com. The transaction gives the company another European computer and gaming accessories brand alongside Kensington, PowerA and EPOS.

Trust means more technology sales

MarketScreener reported on September 16, 2026, that Trust generates USD 100 million in annual revenue and would be modestly accretive to adjusted earnings per share in its first 12 months within ACCO Brands. The announcement also described cost synergies of USD 5 million to USD 8 million over 18 months.

The strategic logic is visible in the product mix. Trust adds keyboards, mice, headsets, webcams, chargers and gaming accessories, while ACCO Brands already markets technology brands through retail, online and business channels.

Revenue beat the consensus

ACCO Brands reported revenue of USD 415.10 million for the second quarter of 2026, above the USD 402.53 million consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat. Reported earnings per share were USD 0.29 against a USD 0.27 consensus estimate, while full-year 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance stood at USD 0.87 to USD 0.91.

That comparison gives the acquisition a financial backdrop: the Trust deal adds a new growth category while ACCO Brands works from a quarterly revenue base that exceeded expectations by USD 12.57 million.

Market value and prior close

ACCO Brands had a market capitalization of USD 396.7 million and a 52-week range of USD 2.81 to USD 4.56 as of October 2, 2026. The prior close at Lang & Schwarz was EUR 3.82 on October 2, 2026.

The next earnings report is scheduled for October 29, 2026, according to Investing.com. That report will provide the first regular update on Trust's contribution after the acquisition.
