1. What’s moving the stock today

SPX Technologies (SPXC) is moving higher on April 30, 2026 after posting first-quarter 2026 earnings that showed double-digit year-over-year growth and a guidance increase for the full year. The company reported Q1 revenue of $566.8 million (+17.4% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $1.69 (+22.5% YoY), then lifted its 2026 outlook for revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS.

2. The headline numbers investors are reacting to

For Q1 2026 (ended March 28, 2026), SPX posted GAAP EPS of $1.27 (+15.5% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of $126.1 million (+22.9% YoY). The bigger catalyst is the full-year reset: SPX raised 2026 revenue guidance to $2.575–$2.645 billion (from $2.535–$2.605 billion) and lifted adjusted EBITDA guidance to $600–$625 million (from $590–$620 million). SPX also raised adjusted EPS guidance to $7.75–$8.15 (from $7.60–$8.00).

3. Segment and operating drivers to watch

SPX pointed to growth across its businesses, including Detection & Measurement revenue of $172.8 million in Q1 2026 versus $159.6 million a year earlier, with drivers including acquisition impact (KTS) and higher volumes in transportation systems. In HVAC, SPX flagged that capacity expansion initiatives are creating incremental start-up costs and related inefficiencies, which pressured segment margin even as revenue rose—an area investors will scrutinize for how quickly productivity improves as new capacity ramps.

4. Balance sheet context and what comes next

Alongside the earnings beat-and-raise, investors will track leverage and cash dynamics after SPX disclosed total debt of $674.0 million and cash of $158.3 million at quarter end (versus $501.6 million debt and $366.0 million cash at Q4 2025). The next key checkpoint is management’s commentary on demand, pricing, and the margin trajectory as expansion-related costs work through the P&L.
