Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral
Grainger reported strong earnings and revenue growth with significant contributions from the Endless Assortment segment and continued shareholder returns. However, the company faces challenges from LIFO inventory valuation headwinds and the need to exit the U.K. market. The impact of the government shutdown also presents a potential risk to future sales.
Company Guidance
During the W.W. Grainger Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company reported strong financial metrics, with total company sales reaching nearly $4.7 billion, reflecting a 6.1% increase on a reported basis and a 5.4% rise on a daily constant currency basis. The company's gross margins were reported at 38.6%, while operating margins stood at 15.2%. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) increased by $0.34 to $10.21.

The updated outlook for the remainder of 2025 anticipates a daily organic constant currency sales growth of between 4.4% and 5.1%, with a diluted adjusted EPS range of $39 to $39.75.
