MSC Industrial sees Q3 ADS up 5%-7%

Sees Q3 adjusted operating margin 9.7%-10.3%. Sees FY26 capital expenditures $100M-$110M. Sees FY26 tax rate 24.5%-25.5%. McIsaac concluded, “Looking ahead, I remain confident in MSC’s ability to execute on our strategic priorities. As we exit the first half of the fiscal year, we expect sales growth and profitability to further strengthen as we leverage our work in sales optimization and productivity. This is reflected in the average daily sales growth of 6% and 10% adjusted operating margin at the midpoint of our outlook for the fiscal third quarter.”
