Interface, the modular flooring and carpet tile manufacturer, posted second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $0.88, well above the $0.64 analyst estimate. Revenue reached $395.7 million, up 5.4% year over year and above the $390.32 million consensus. The size of the beat extended further down the income statement: adjusted EBITDA came in at $87.7 million against a $67.41 million estimate, a 22.2% margin and a 30.1% beat, while net income reached $51.4 million.

One segment stood out inside the results. Healthcare-segment billings rose 19% year over year, a faster growth rate than the company's overall 5.4% revenue increase — a sign that the healthcare vertical specifically is outperforming the broader flooring business rather than the beat being spread evenly across segments.

Interface raised its full-year 2026 sales guidance to approximately $1.455 billion-$1.485 billion, citing a strong first half and a robust order backlog supporting continued momentum. Next quarter's revenue guidance of $375 million came in slightly below analyst estimates — a rare soft spot in an otherwise strong report — but it didn't stop the stock from rising 2.85% the same day. That reaction extends an already strong run: Interface shares are up 26% year to date and 42% over the past year, meaning the market was already pricing in continued strength before this quarter confirmed it.
