EnPro Industries (NPO) stock surged 5% in intraday trading after the company reported better-than-expected second-quarter sales and raised its full-year 2025 guidance. The industrial machinery manufacturer demonstrated resilience in key segments despite some challenges, sparking investor optimism.

EnPro's Q2 sales rose 6% year-over-year to $288.1 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $282.6 million. The company's Advanced Surface Technologies (AST) segment was a standout performer, with sales increasing by 14.5%, driven by growth in precision cleaning solutions and optical coatings. The Sealing Technologies segment also showed modest growth of 1.9%, benefiting from strong demand in aerospace and food and pharma sectors.

While adjusted earnings per share of $2.03 slightly missed the consensus estimate of $2.10, investors were more focused on the company's improved outlook. EnPro raised its full-year 2025 guidance, now expecting revenue growth of 5-7%, up from the previous forecast of low to mid-single-digit growth. The company also increased its adjusted EBITDA guidance to $270-$280 million and adjusted EPS to $7.60-$8.10, reflecting confidence in its business momentum and market positioning.
