Why Greif Stock Triumphed on Thursday
Veteran industrial company (NYSE: GEF) was a standout on the stock exchange Thursday. Investors, captivated by a very convincing earnings beat in the company's freshly reported second quarter of fiscal 2025, pushed the industrial packing specialist's share price up by nearly 16%. In doing so, Greif not only crushed the S 500 index's performance on the day (it landed in the red by 0.5%), but also that of many blue chip stocks.
Greif published those quarterly results just after market close on Wednesday, divulging that its net sales inched up by 1% on a year-over-year basis to hit nearly $1.39 billion. The dynamic was similar on the bottom line, with GAAP net income bumping 0.5% higher to $54.5 million, or $1.22 per share.
