Tennant NYSE: TNC CEO Dave Huml said the floor-cleaning equipment manufacturer is pursuing growth through automation, robotics, product innovation and targeted acquisitions, while continuing to recover from a North American enterprise resource planning, or ERP, implementation that disrupted operations late in 2025.
Tennant Company faces short-term profitability setbacks but maintains a soft ‘buy' rating due to relative valuation and growth prospects. TNC's revenue grew modestly despite supply chain and ERP issues, but net income and EBITDA declined sharply, prompting lower profit guidance. Management remains focused on robotics and automation, targeting robotics revenue growth from $85M to $250M by 2028 and ongoing product launches.
Tennant NYSE: TNC reported second-quarter 2026 sales growth and stronger order activity, but profitability fell below management's expectations as the company faced ERP-related operating inefficiencies, North American parts shortages, inflationary costs and competitive pricing pressure in Europe.
