Ennis stock reports mixed Q2 results after revenue beat

Ennis stock was trading at USD 22.05 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, at 2:24 p.m. ET, down 0.29 percent. The company reported mixed fiscal second-quarter results on September 21, with revenue growth and a dividend increase offset by lower earnings per share.

Revenue beats while EPS misses

According to Fidelity, Ennis generated USD 102.006 million in net sales for the quarter ended August 31, 2026, compared with USD 98.676 million a year earlier. That represents growth of 3.3 percent and places the latest quarter inside the current reporting window.

Diluted EPS fell to USD 0.37 from USD 0.51 in the prior-year quarter, a decline of USD 0.14. The comparison is important because revenue advanced while per-share profitability moved in the opposite direction.

Consensus shows the earnings gap

24/7 Wall St. reported that fiscal Q2 revenue of USD 102.01 million exceeded the USD 99.85 million consensus estimate by 2.16 percent. GAAP diluted EPS of USD 0.37 missed the USD 0.39 estimate by USD 0.02, or 5.13 percent.

The earnings mix gives investors a specific read on the quarter: sales held up, but the earnings conversion rate weakened. The report also cited a USD 700,000 litigation charge linked to a USD 2.3 million preliminary ruling.

Dividend rises to USD 0.2625

According to StockTitan, the board declared a 5.0 percent increase in the quarterly dividend on September 18, 2026, lifting the payment from USD 0.25 to USD 0.2625 per share. The dividend is payable on November 6, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 9, 2026.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Ennis stock stood at USD 22.05 on the NYSE on September 24, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 557.701 million. The 52-week range was USD 16.30 to USD 22.94, placing the stock 3.88 percent below its yearly high.

The combination of USD 54.011 million in cash and no debt at August 31, 2026, gives the balance sheet a distinct role in the investment case. The next market test is whether revenue growth can translate into EPS recovery after the fiscal second-quarter decline.
