National Presto Industries, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2025 Sales and Earnings

National Presto Industries, Inc. (NYSE: NPK) reported its third quarter 2025 financial results, with net sales increasing by 25.7% to $115.5 million compared to the same period in 2024. The growth was primarily driven by a 38.6% increase in Defense segment revenues, which was partially offset by a 9.2% decline in Housewares/Small Appliance revenues due to retailers' reluctance to accept tariff-induced price increases. Net earnings for the quarter were $5.3 million, or $0.74 per share, down from $8.1 million, or $1.13 per share, in the prior year. The Defense segment saw improved operating earnings of $1.7 million, while the Housewares/Small Appliance segment reported a significant operating loss due to the impact of tariffs. The newly established Safety segment reported nominal sales and a loss. The company operates in three segments: Housewares/Small Appliance, Defense, and Safety.
