Illinois Tool Works shares rose 5.5% in early trading after the company raised its full-year organic sales growth guidance to 3% to 4%, up from a prior range of 1% to 3%, citing accelerating demand across all segments. CFO Michael Larsen noted that every segment exceeded historical sequential growth rates, with the largest improvements in Welding, Test & Measurement, and Polymers & Fluids, and added that June was even better than May with a good start to the third quarter. The upgrade comes amid signs of a broader U.S. manufacturing recovery, as the ISM Purchasing Managers Index and its New Orders component have held above 50 in 2026 after a prolonged contractionary period.
