Bulls say
W.W. Grainger reported a strong performance in 2Q25, with total company constant currency daily sales increasing by 5.2% in April, 6.0% in May, and 4.0% in June, indicating consistent growth across the quarter.

Bears say
W.W. Grainger's stock faces a negative outlook due to several financial indicators. The company reported an adjusted EPS of $9.97 for 2Q25, reflecting an 11-cent miss and signifying potential organic revenue weakness and operating margin contraction, with projected EPS for 2026 estimated at around $40.60. Additionally, the firm's reliance on LIFO inventory accounting has negatively affected gross margin by 80 basis points due to tariff cost inflation, further contributing to lower guidance and subdued growth expectations for the upcoming quarters.
