NPK International stock (ISIN US6517185046) was last at USD 12.01 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, up 1.69 percent from USD 11.81. The move came as the company enters the final quarter of a year marked by higher revenue, expanding margins and raised fiscal-year guidance.
Stock gains inside yearly range
The October 6 price stood between NPK International's USD 10.73 52-week low and USD 16.50 52-week high. Its market capitalization was USD 1.0 billion as of October 6, 2026, giving the daily gain a modest market-value context rather than signaling a return to the yearly peak.
The operating backdrop is stronger than the share-price range alone suggests. The second-quarter figures show a company growing in both of its main activity areas, while project timing remains an important variable for quarterly performance.
Q2 revenue rises 20 percent
According to CEO.CA on July 29, 2026, NPK International reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of USD 81.6 million, up 20 percent from USD 68.2 million in the prior-year quarter. GAAP operating income reached USD 16.1 million, producing a 19.7 percent operating margin.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 37 percent to USD 25.7 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin widened to 31.5 percent from 27.5 percent. Adjusted earnings per diluted share were USD 0.15, compared with USD 0.11 in the second quarter of 2025, while free cash flow was USD 5.9 million.
Guidance sets the next checkpoint
The same July 29 release put fiscal-year 2026 revenue guidance at USD 313 million to USD 323 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance at USD 97 million to USD 103 million. At the midpoint, management's outlook implies 15 percent revenue growth and 32 percent adjusted EBITDA growth versus 2025.
For market expectations, MarketBeat reported on September 8, 2026, that three analysts supported a Moderate Buy consensus with an average target of USD 18.00. That target lies 49.9 percent above the USD 12.01 reference price, a gap that leaves execution and the timing of infrastructure projects central to the stock's valuation.
Leadership change supports execution
Business Wire reported on September 14, 2026, that James Barton would become executive vice president for commercial growth and operations effective September 22, 2026. His remit covers sales, service operations, manufacturing and growth execution, areas that connect directly with the company's margin and capacity targets.
October 29 results date approaches
NPK International's next quarterly results date is listed as October 29, 2026. That release should provide the next measurable test of the USD 313 million to USD 323 million revenue outlook and the company's ability to sustain its 31.5 percent second-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin.
