AMETEK (AME) reported another record quarter for Q2 2025. Net sales rose 2.5 % YoY to $1.78 bn, driven by 2 % contribution from acquisitions and 1 % favourable FX. Operating income increased 3.2 % to $461.6 m, lifting the operating margin to 26.0 % (25.8 % prior year). Net income advanced 6.1 % to $358.4 m and diluted EPS grew 6.9 % to $1.55. Orders climbed 6.3 % to $1.78 bn and backlog reached $3.47 bn, underpinning future revenue. Segment mix was favourable: Electromechanical Group sales +6.4 % with a 260 bp underlying margin gain, while Electronic Instruments Group faced a 3 % organic decline offset by M&A and FX.

Balance-sheet strength improved. Operating cash flow was $776.6 m (-1.9 %), free cash flow $724.3 m. Cash rose to $619.7 m and net debt fell to $1.94 bn, cutting the net-debt-to-capital ratio to 11.3 %. Lower leverage reduced interest expense 45 % to $16.9 m. The dividend was lifted 11 % to $0.31 per share and $18.1 m of stock was repurchased. AMETEK deployed $104 m for the Kern acquisition and, post-quarter, closed the $920 m purchase of FARO Technologies (c.$340 m annual sales) to bolster its Electronic Instruments portfolio. Management continues to target margin expansion via Operational Excellence while cautioning on tariff and FX headwinds.
