Idex Corp. reports Q2 adjusted EPS $2.18, consensus $2.11

Reports Q2 revenue $846.2M, consensus $851.42M. The company said, “Our view on core IDEX industrial markets continues to hold as inventory and backlog recalibrates in line with our supply chain improvements and lead time reductions. Our Fluid & Metering and Fire & Safety / Diversified Products businesses delivered strong organic growth and profitability within this environment. Our businesses within our Health & Science Technologies segment remained challenged, impacted by customers’ sharp inventory recalibration and demand softness after two years of double-digit growth. At this point we no longer expect market recovery within the second half of the year. Our teams are appropriately balanced as they execute targeted cost reductions to mitigate a portion of these volume declines, drive strong cash flow overall, and continue to innovate for our customers.”
