The adjusted EPS miss and revenue shortfall are tempered by strong cash flow and maintained guidance. Watch for pricing actions to restore Consumer & Specialties margins in H2 and the September 22 Investor Day for strategic updates. The talc litigation overhang remains a risk but the $290M charge may provide clarity on resolution.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Minerals Technologies reported Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.60, missing the $1.64 consensus by 2.4%, while revenue of $548.4M grew 4% YoY but fell short of the $558.7M estimate. The headline GAAP loss of $5.90 per share was driven by a $290M talc-related litigation charge, but the underlying business showed mixed results with strong cash flow generation offset by margin compression in the Consumer & Specialties segment. The company maintained its full-year mid-single-digit growth outlook, providing some stability despite the quarterly miss.
