What the filing says
Cadre Holdings reported Q2 2026 net sales of $207.1M (vs. $157.1M prior year, +32%), gross profit of $87.1M (+36%), and adjusted EBITDA of $42.0M (+56%). The company raised full-year 2026 guidance to net sales of $749–$769M (prior: $736–$758M) and adjusted EBITDA of $139–$144M (prior: $136–$141M). Growth driven by acquisitions (Alien Gear Holsters in April; TYR prior year), strong nuclear-sector demand, and 5% organic topline growth in Q2. The company deployed $163.9M on acquisitions in H1 2026, bringing total M&A since Jan 2024 to ~$455M, and holds record order backlog of $368M.
Why this rating
Strong organic growth, margin expansion, raised guidance, and robust backlog signal solid execution. However, heavy M&A-driven growth, rising leverage (net debt 2.5x LTM adj. EBITDA), and $136M increase in net debt in 6mo suggest acquisition dependency. Significant for $577.5M market-cap company but not transformational.
