AMETEK Inc. announced third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $2.22 billion, up 17% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $2.21, a 17% increase. GAAP EPS was $1.85 and net income $426.3 million. The company lifted its 2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $8.53‑$8.57, up from $8.20‑$8.30, and expects mid‑teens sales growth for the full year.
