Quad/Graphics stock was trading at USD 9.25 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down 3.85 percent from USD 9.62. The latest operating picture combines 1.0 percent revenue growth with a 71.4 percent increase in adjusted EPS, according to The Globe and Mail on August 31, 2026.
Q2 earnings improve
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, Quad reported revenue of USD 577.5 million, up from USD 571.9 million a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS reached USD 0.24, compared with USD 0.14 in the prior-year quarter, while adjusted EBITDA was USD 42 million versus USD 43 million.
The earnings comparison is more favorable than the sales trend. Net income reached USD 3.7 million in Q2 2026, compared with a USD 0.1 million loss in the prior-year quarter, according to The Globe and Mail.
Cash flow meets guidance
Quad generated USD 41 million in Q2 free cash flow and reiterated its 2026 free cash flow outlook of USD 40 million to USD 60 million. Full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance remained USD 175 million to USD 215 million, leaving the midpoint at USD 195 million.
That guidance frames the stock differently from the quarterly revenue line. The company is targeting cash generation and earnings improvement while full-year sales remain under pressure, making the USD 0.24 adjusted EPS result more important than the 1.0 percent sales increase for the current investment narrative.
Retail media adds scale
Quad is also extending its marketing-services platform beyond traditional print. On September 16, 2026, the company announced a partnership with Chedraui USA to install digital in-store screens across 25 Smart and Final stores in California, as Investing.com reported. The deployment gives Quad a measurable retail-media footprint while its legacy print operations face a lower-sales environment.
Stock stays below yearly high
At USD 9.25 on September 23, 2026, the stock was 17.04 percent below its 52-week high of USD 11.15 and above its 52-week low of USD 5.12. Quad had a market capitalization of USD 476,925,616 at the same market snapshot.
