$2.7B Market cap · 2026-10-08
Let's congratulate the market and the investment community for a moment on filling the gap from $WDFC on that nonsensical earnings beat. I read the transcript twice and the magnitude of upside in the quarter still didn't make sense. For this kind of business it should have been a simple explanation from management. Instead it was innuendo and evasion.
$WDFC results are staggering when you read through them....then you get to the guidance and it does not reflect the monstrous quarter they just posted (relatively the same as the guide from Q1)....something is off with this company, they are either one of the worst non micro cap companies at forecasting their business (not a great endorsement of management and their processes). AND/OR they are playing games with inventory to influence the stock. I will reserve my own comments for private, but if you look back in recent years there are some odd swings in Asian /Chinese inventories in given quarters. Fascinated how a product that has been around forever with wide distribution posts a +30% print in Americas, 24% company wide. And the guide moves from 5-9% to 6-9% growth for the year?? What is going on?
