Welcome to our dedicated page for Nordson SEC filings (Ticker: NDSN), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Nordson Corporation filings document the formal disclosure record for an Ohio precision technology manufacturer with common shares listed on Nasdaq under NDSN. The company’s 8-K reports cover quarterly operating results, Regulation FD earnings commentary, shareholder vote outcomes, capital allocation authorizations, executive officer changes, compensation arrangements, and material financing agreements.
Recent filings include annual meeting results, proxy governance matters, an executive severance policy, a chief accounting officer transition, and an amended senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit agreement involving Nordson and a German subsidiary. The record also identifies the company’s registered common shares and recurring disclosure areas tied to governance, liquidity, capital structure, and financial reporting.
Nordson Corporation established a new commercial paper program that allows it to issue unsecured short-term notes with up to $1.2 billion outstanding at any time. These notes will be issued on a private placement basis and may be sold at a discount or at par with interest rates set by market conditions on each issue date.
The notes will have varying maturities but cannot exceed 364 days from issuance, and proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes. A national bank serves as issuing and paying agent, and Nordson has entered into substantially identical dealer agreements with multiple commercial paper dealers that include customary representations, covenants and indemnification. The notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and will only be offered under applicable registration exemptions.
Nordson Corp executive Daniel Roy Hopgood, EVP and CFO, reported a small share disposition related to tax withholding. On the reported date, 148 Nordson shares were withheld at $281.31 per share to cover taxes due when previously granted restricted share units vested. This was an automatic tax-withholding transaction under the company’s stock plan, not an open-market sale, and left Hopgood with 4,758 shares held directly.
Nordson Corporation reported solid growth for the quarter and first half of fiscal 2026. For the three months ended April 30, 2026, sales were $740.8 million, up 8.5% from a year ago, with net income of $117.3 million and diluted EPS of $2.09. Operating profit rose 16.9% as all three segments grew, led by Advanced Technology Solutions and Medical and Fluid Solutions, while gross margin stayed around 55%.
For the first six months, sales reached $1.41 billion, up 8.6%, and net income increased 21.1% to $250.7 million, or $4.47 per diluted share. Interest expense declined on lower average debt, and other income benefited from gains on a minority investment, partly offset by a $24.0 million U.S. pension settlement loss. Operating cash flow was strong at $321.1 million, supporting $107 million of debt repayment, $129.3 million of share repurchases, and $91.6 million of dividends, while maintaining access to a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility.
Nordson Corporation reported record second quarter fiscal 2026 results and raised its full year outlook. Sales reached a second quarter record of $741 million, up 8% from $683 million a year earlier, driven by 7% organic growth and a 3% favorable currency impact, partly offset by a divestiture and a small acquisition.
Net income was $117 million, or $2.09 diluted EPS, compared with $112 million, or $1.97 per diluted share. Results included a one-time non-cash pension settlement charge and a non-cash loss on minority investments. Excluding these items and acquisition-related costs, adjusted diluted EPS reached a record $2.86, up 18% from $2.42.
EBITDA was also a second quarter record at $235 million, or 32% of sales, up from $217 million. All three segments delivered record or higher second quarter sales, and backlog increased 18% year-over-year, supporting stronger demand. For the third quarter, the company forecasts sales of $760–$790 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.95–$3.15. For the full fiscal year, Nordson now expects sales of $2.93–$3.01 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $11.30–$11.80, reflecting confidence in ongoing momentum across its end markets.

Footnotes explain that he elected to defer his quarterly cash retainer into Stock Equivalent Units under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Sub-Plan, which convert into common shares on a one-for-one basis at distribution. His total holdings also include 18 Stock Equivalent Units and/or Restricted Share Units accrued from dividend payments under the company’s Stock Incentive and Award Plan.
Nordson Corp director Christopher L. Mapes acquired 43 stock equivalent units of NDSN on a compensation-related basis.

After this grant, he directly holds 2,975 NDSN shares, which include 9 stock equivalent units and/or restricted share units accrued from dividend payments under Nordson’s Stock Incentive and Award Plan. This filing reflects a routine grant/award acquisition rather than an open-market purchase.
