Company News
Kadant Inc. announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share, payable on November 6, 2025, to stockholders of record as of October 9, 2025.
Kadant reported Q2 FY2025 earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, with adjusted EPS of $2.31 versus $1.94 estimate and revenue of $255.3 million. Despite beating forecasts, revenue and earnings declined year-over-year due to lower capital equipment demand and trade policy uncertainties.
Kadant Inc. announced it received $18 million in orders from three lumber producers in North America and Europe. The orders are for equipment and technologies to be used in the production of oriented strand board and dimensional lumber, and include Kadant's smart technology systems to optimize the wood processing operations.
Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc. is well-positioned to benefit from strength across its businesses, recent acquisitions, and focus on improving its product line and operational excellence. The company remains committed to rewarding shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
