Ametek, Inc. (AME)
The company now
AMETEK reported record third-quarter 2026 sales of $2.22 billion on 3 November, up 17 percent from a year earlier 2.
The company raised its full-year outlook and now expects 2026 adjusted earnings of $8.53 to $8.57 per diluted share, up from a prior range of $8.20 to $8.30 2.
Orders, which are customer commitments not yet shipped, were a record $2,650.6 million in the quarter, and the backlog of unfilled orders reached $4,540.5 million 1.
Part of the jump came from buying companies: the quarterly report credits a 10% rise in organic sales, meaning sales without acquisitions, and a 7% rise from acquisitions 1.
The largest purchase was Indicor Instrumentation, completed in August 2026 in a cash deal the company put at $5.0 billion 7.
It was financed with debt: $4.0 billion of term loans was outstanding at quarter end, and the company expects Indicor to add about $350 million to 2026 sales 17.
