Mettler-Toledo Reports 4% Q2 Sales Growth, Profit Beats Estimates

Mettler-Toledo International Inc. reported a 4% increase in Q2 2025 net sales to $983.2 million, driven by growth in product inspection and process analytics across all major regions, despite challenging market conditions such as tariffs and shipping delays. Adjusted earnings per share rose 5% to $10.09, surpassing analysts' expectations, although GAAP net earnings declined due to one-time tax benefits in the previous year and higher tariff costs. The company’s operating margin and free cash flow margin declined compared to the prior year, reflecting cost pressures, while management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $42.35. Sales growth was strongest in Europe (6%) and Asia/Rest of World (4%), with the Americas up 2%, and the company anticipates continued revenue growth in Q3 2025. Despite solid financial performance, shares of Mettler-Toledo fell amid broader market declines, signaling investor caution.
