Applied Industrial Technologies Reports Strong Q1 2027 Growth Driven by Engineered Solutions
Applied Industrial Technologies (AIT) reported strong first-quarter results for fiscal year 2027, highlighted by a 7.6% year-over-year increase in net sales to $1.3 billion. The growth was primarily propelled by the Engineered Solutions segment, which saw organic sales rise by 14.1%, fueled specifically by double-digit demand in automation and fluid power sectors related to semiconductor and data center markets. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) rose 12.7% to $2.97, benefiting from a reduced share count despite higher interest expenses and increased LIFO costs. While U.S. manufacturing demand remains robust, management noted softer industrial indicators in Canada and Mexico. Despite these regional headwinds, the company raised its full-year EPS guidance to a range of $11.70 to $12.20.
