Second quarter beat supports valuation

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, IDEX reported quarterly revenue of USD 920.60 million for the second quarter, up 6.4 percent from the same period a year earlier and above the USD 905.38 million estimate by USD 15.22 million. Adjusted EPS increased from USD 2.07 in the prior-year quarter to USD 2.32, giving the earnings comparison more weight than the headline revenue growth alone.

The latest reported quarter also included a net margin of 14.49 percent and return on equity of 15.69 percent, according to MarketBeat. For investors, the combination of revenue growth and an earnings beat matters because the stock was valued at a price-to-earnings ratio of 32.02 in the September 22 market snapshot.

Guidance and analyst targets

For full-year 2026, IDEX guided to adjusted diluted EPS of USD 8.70 to USD 8.85, while third-quarter guidance was USD 2.20 to USD 2.25, according to MarketBeat. That range leaves the next quarterly result as the key test of whether the second-quarter beat can support the full-year outlook.
