Grainger, Inc. is a leading distributor of maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) products, primarily serving North America, Japan, and the United Kingdom, known for its innovative technology and deep customer expertise. In its second-quarter earnings report for 2025, Grainger reported sales of $4.6 billion, marking a 5.6% increase from the previous year, with a diluted EPS of $9.97, up 4.8% on a reported basis. The company experienced a slight decline in operating margin to 14.9%, attributed to tariff-related factors, yet maintained strong cash flow, returning $336 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Key performance highlights include a 19.7% sales increase in the Endless Assortment segment, driven by MonotaRO and Zoro, while the High-Touch Solutions segment saw a more modest growth of 2.5%.
