# Graco share price today (Graco Inc., GGG) > Graco Inc.'s P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 1% of past readings, and its quarterly results are still getting worse. GGG · Industrials · Specialty Industrial Machinery · data as of 3 November 2026. Page: https://www.sectoralpha.in/us/stocks/ggg Sector Alpha also publishes a daily newsletter that explains one Indian stock at a time: https://newsletter.sectoralpha.in/?utm_source=sectoralpha&utm_medium=ai_text&utm_campaign=llms ## Key numbers - Business trend: Mixed, from the last 12 quarters - Price: $69.16 (−15.4% in a year) - P/E: 22.3× (lower than 99% of the last 4.6 years) - Revenue (Sep 2026): $586 M (+7.9% on a year ago) - Profit (Sep 2026): $122 M (−11.7% on a year ago) - Operating margin: 25.3% (−2.4 points on a year ago) - ROE: 20%, FY25 - ROIC: 22.2%, against a 9.0% cost of capital: +13.2 points The main question: the P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 1% of past readings, but results are getting worse. A low multiple can stay low until the quarters turn. ## What is the Graco share price today? Graco Inc.'s share price was $69.16 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 3 weeks. That is 14.4% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $67 and $95, and at that close it sat 8% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 3 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +161% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 16 October 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Graco pay? Graco Inc. paid $1.18 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.29 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $69.16 that is a yield of 1.71%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Graco on? Graco is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Graco profitable? Graco Inc. earned $122 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, −11.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $522 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 4.4% a year on average. That is 20.7% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $138 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $522 M (+7.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +7.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved −2.4 percentage points. Sales did the work while the margin got thinner. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +4.8% and revenue +5.4%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Graco make, and is it growing? Graco Inc. reported $586 M of revenue in the Sep 2026 quarter, +7.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 7th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 3.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $2.2 B. The last four reported quarters add to $2.3 B. FY25 revenue was $2.2 B, +5.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +5.4% on average, against 3.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +5.4%, against +4.1% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +3.9%, against +3.0% a year (stabilising). ## How much of every $100 of sales does Graco keep? Graco Inc.'s operating margin was 25.3% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.4 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 5 years it has been between 26.1% and 27.5%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period. Across 5 years it has been between 26.1% and 27.5%, and FY25's 27.5% is the highest of them. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −2.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed −2.7 points. So the drop came mostly from the gross margin, which means input costs and prices charged. As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead. ## Is Graco's profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 129% of Graco Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY25 it brought in $684 M of operating cash against $522 M of profit. After $45.7 M of spending on assets, $638 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does Graco's cash go? Graco Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $337 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 5.0% of FY25 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $337 M over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is Graco's P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Graco Inc.'s P/E is 22.3×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 27.7×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved +9.2% while the price moved −15.4%. Earnings did better than the price, which pulled the multiple down within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −3.5% a year; about +0.8% a year came from earnings growth and about −4.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Graco business getting better or worse? Graco Inc.'s business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE steady at 22.7%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Graco earn on its capital? Graco Inc. earned a ROE of 20% in FY25. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 13.2 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 23.3% net margin and 0.68× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY25): a 23.3% net margin × 0.68× asset turnover × 1.23× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 19.5% on equity. The margin does most of the work; borrowing plays a small part, so this return is earned, not borrowed. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 22.2% − 9.0% = +13.2 percentage points. The 9.0% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 22.2% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY25 at 24.8%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does Graco have too much debt? Graco Inc. has total debt of $165 M against shareholder equity of $2.5 B as of Sep 2026, so its debt is 0.07× its equity, which is very little. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.13 in FY21 to 0.02 in FY25. So the returns on this page come from the business, not from borrowed money. ## What is the Graco shareholding pattern? 3.4% of Graco Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Graco from balance-sheet trouble? For Graco Inc., the Z-score is 12.34. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is well clear of danger. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 12.34 is well clear of the danger zone, so the balance sheet is not the risk here. ## How does Graco rank in its industry? 43.5 out of 100, rank 18 of 30 in Specialty Industrial Machinery, with 85% of the evidence available. Graco Inc. scores 43.5 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Specialty Industrial Machinery, ranking 18. A strong business with a high valuation: it would need rising earnings, or a lower multiple, to score better on value. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 15.7 + 19.9 + 6.2 + 1.7 = 43.5. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Graco compared with? Graco ranks 18 of 30 Specialty Industrial Machinery companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 43.5 out of 100. 1.

They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

Its P/E of 22.3× is higher than 1% of its own last 5 years (as of 3 November 2026). ### Where is Graco in its business cycle? Graco Inc.'s FY25 operating margin was 27.5%, against a 5-year range of 26.1% to 27.5%: the top of its range, a record year. When profit is at a record, every ratio looks better than usual, and the story depends on margins staying high. The latest quarter was 25.3%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 3 November 2026). ### What could break the Graco story? The main question: the P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 1% of past readings, but results are getting worse. A low multiple can stay low until the quarters turn. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 3 November 2026). ### Is Graco a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: Graco Inc.'s P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 1% of past readings, and its quarterly results are still getting worse. The main open question: whether results start to improve. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 3 November 2026).
