AMETEK Builds A $5 Billion M&A War Chest But Is Inorganic Growth The Only Way?

AMETEK Inc. delivered solid financial performance in the second quarter of 2025, with key highlights reflecting their robust operational capabilities and strategic growth plans. The company reported record sales and EBITDA, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. The total sales reached $1.78 billion, marking a 2.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Notably, this growth was driven amid flat organic sales, with acquisitions contributing 1.5 percentage points and a 1-point benefit from foreign currency translation.
