IDEX Q3 2026: 8% organic growth and 110bps margin expansion driven by AI/semiconductor demand in HST; FMT water volumes rising, energy/ag soft

IDEX delivered Q3 2026 net sales of $951.7 million, up 8% organically, with diluted EPS of $1.95 (reported) and $2.33 (adjusted), each up 15% year-over-year. HST led with 13% organic growth and 110bps Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion, powered by AI data center, semiconductor, and space/defense demand, while FMT posted 4% organic growth on municipal water and semiconductor strength, partially offset by weakness in chemical, energy, and agriculture end markets. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 27.8% in Q3 2026 from 27.3% a year ago, with management citing continuous improvement, 80/20 discipline, and measured pricing as the primary drivers.
