W.W. Grainger (NYSE:GWW), the industrial supply and MRO (maintenance, repair, and operations) distributor, released its second-quarter 2025 results for the period ended June 30, 2025, on August 1, 2025. The headline news: sales grew to $4.55 billion (GAAP), coming in above analyst estimates of $4.53 billion (GAAP), while earnings per share (GAAP) reached $9.97, slightly under GAAP expectations of $10.07. Management revised its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS and margin outlook downward. Despite strong growth from its online Endless Assortment segment, which delivered 19.7% year-over-year sales growth, the period showed narrower profitability and highlighted new challenges for the remainder of fiscal 2025.
