Twin Disc, incorporated (TWIN)

Over the past six months, Twin Disc's stock has increased by 80.88%, with a 17.16% rise in the last month, trading at $17.86 as of the latest close. The release of the fiscal second-quarter 2026 results on February 4, 2026, showed a mixed financial performance, missing analyst expectations on profitability metrics. The company reported non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.04, falling short of the consensus estimate of $0.102. Revenue for the quarter was $90.18 million, slightly below the estimated $93.94 million. Despite the EPS miss, the company reported a record six-month backlog of $175.3 million. Tariff-related challenges impacted shipment schedules and short-term activities. The reported net income of $22.4 million for the quarter was primarily driven by a $21.8 million tax benefit, while underlying EBITDA decreased by 25%.

Twin Disc's business is generally not considered seasonal, but there is a minor seasonal impact due to employee vacations and plant shutdowns, primarily in Europe during July and August, leading to a curtailment of production.
