Deutsche Bank starts coverage

Revenue grows as EPS declines

AptarGroup's Q2 2026 adjusted EPS was USD 1.42, down 15 percent from USD 1.68 in the prior-year quarter, while revenue rose 6.3 percent to USD 1.03 billion. The figures were reported in the company's Q2 earnings call transcript carried by Yahoo Finance on July 31, 2026.

The same transcript put adjusted EBITDA at USD 213 million, down 3 percent year over year, and the adjusted EBITDA margin at 20.7 percent versus 22.6 percent. Management attributed the pressure to product mix and operational challenges in Beauty and Closures, while Pharma core sales excluding emergency medicine increased 8 percent.

For Q3 2026, AptarGroup guided to adjusted EPS of USD 1.45 to USD 1.53. The range is above the Q2 result of USD 1.42, but the comparison remains a guidance range rather than a reported result.

Q3 results are scheduled

MarketBeat lists October 29, 2026, as the date for AptarGroup's Q3 2026 earnings report. The appointment gives the stock a defined checkpoint after the new analyst coverage and the mixed Q2 operating picture.
