Forecast edges higher
The forecast change is small, but it moves the estimate above the lower end of AptarGroup's Q3 2026 guidance range of USD 1.45 to USD 1.53. MarketBeat also reported a full-year 2026 consensus estimate of USD 5.48 in earnings per share and a Zacks Research estimate of USD 5.46.
The latest reported quarter provides the operating baseline. For the second quarter of 2026, AptarGroup posted revenue of USD 1.03 billion versus a USD 1.01 billion consensus estimate, while earnings per share came in at USD 1.42 against USD 1.35 expected, according to MarketBeat.
Revenue grows, margins face pressure
Second-quarter revenue increased 6.30 percent from the same period a year earlier, while the net margin was 9.22 percent, based on the September 30, 2026 report from MarketBeat. The comparison matters because the prior-year earnings per share figure was USD 1.66, leaving the current USD 1.42 result below the year-earlier level despite higher sales.
AptarGroup's business spans pharma, beauty and closures, with products covering drug delivery, dispensing and packaging. The company's investor-relations page lists 14,000 employees, operations in more than 20 countries and USD 3.8 billion in reported fiscal 2025 sales, according to AptarGroup.
