What the filing says
Leggett & Platt reported Q2 2026 sales of $1.0B (down 6% YoY), with adjusted EPS of $0.39 (up $0.09 vs Q2 2025). The company is pending completion of its acquisition by Somnigroup International Inc., with HSR approval obtained in June and shareholder vote scheduled for August 20, 2026. Adjusted EBIT was $89M (up from $76M), driven by metal margin expansion and restructuring benefits, though management notes these favorable items are not expected to repeat. Debt stands at $1.5B with net leverage at 2.6x trailing adjusted EBITDA.
Why this rating
Pending acquisition is transformational (likely 50%+ of market cap in deal consideration), but interim Q2 results are mixed with sales declining and one-time gains inflating earnings. Merger completion contingent on shareholder approval and remaining regulatory clearance.
