National Presto Industries, Inc. reports that its Defense segment subsidiaries received significant new awards connected to U.S. defense programs. On August 13, 2026, AMTEC Corporation was granted option awards under year five of its current five-year 40mm systems contract with the U.S. Army. Deliveries under this option are scheduled to begin in mid-2028 and continue through early 2030. On the same date, Spectra Technologies, LLC received a subcontract from The Boeing Company to produce warheads for the Small Diameter Bomb program, with deliveries to commence in September 2027 after completion of existing orders.

National Presto Industries reported higher second quarter 2026 results, with net sales of $146,596,000 and net earnings of $15,862,000, compared with $120,449,000 and $5,152,000 a year earlier. Earnings per share were $2.21 versus $0.72, on 7,167,000 weighted shares outstanding.
For the first six months of 2026, net sales were $265,245,000 and net earnings $22,488,000, up from $224,088,000 and $12,762,000, with EPS of $3.14 versus $1.79. Management highlighted defense segment sales up $27.1 million, or 27.2%, and operating earnings up $4.9 million, or 33.5%, driven by increased backlog shipments. Housewares/Small Appliances sales fell $1.2 million, or 6.2%, due to Trump tariffs and order timing, though the segment earned $2.2 million of operating income helped by tariff refunds, while the Safety segment remained at a small loss.
National Presto Industries, Inc. is making an approximate $90 million investment through its wholly owned subsidiary National Defense Corporation to build a new state-of-the-art medium caliber ammunition production and test facility at the Tech Ord campus in Clear Lake, South Dakota.
The facility is designed with modern manufacturing technologies, advanced automation, digital quality systems, and scalable processes to meet current and emerging U.S. Department of Defense ammunition requirements. Construction is scheduled to begin in mid-June 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028.
The project reinforces the company’s Defense segment presence and supports South Dakota’s role in national defense and advanced manufacturing, while reflecting NDC’s work with the Department of Defense and participation in Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium programs focused on next-generation ammunition technologies.
National Presto Industries, Inc. updated its corporate governance and leadership and reported results from its recent annual stockholder meeting. The board amended and restated the company’s by-laws, effective immediately upon adoption.
Stockholders re-elected two directors to new three-year terms, ratified RSM US LLP as independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2026, and approved executive compensation on an advisory basis. The company appointed Shane A. Straw, Sr. as Vice President of Engineering and adjusted its strategy for sourcing Housewares/Small Appliance products, focusing on placing new products outside China rather than relocating all existing production. New fire extinguishers and brackets in the Safety segment and new canners and a restyled heater in the Housewares/Small Appliance segment were also highlighted.
National Presto Industries, Inc. reported mixed first quarter 2026 results. Net sales rose to $118,649,000 from $103,639,000 a year earlier, driven mainly by stronger Defense segment shipments from backlog. Net earnings declined to $6,626,000 from $7,610,000, and earnings per share fell to $0.93 from $1.07, reflecting less favorable product mix, reduced absorption from a two-week shutdown at a government facility, and higher allocated corporate overhead.
The Housewares/Small Appliance segment saw sales decrease by $3.4 million or 15.6%, with startup issues at a new warehousing facility and tariff-driven price increases contributing to lower volume and a sizable loss. The Safety segment, which uses the same warehouse, also reported a loss. At the same time, Safety launched a full line of Rely FX™ ultra-durable commercial fire extinguishers, designed for harsh environments, tested for extreme temperatures, and compliant with multiple U.S. standards, with production and marketing beginning in May.
National Presto Industries, Inc. reported that the U.S. Army issued AMTEC Corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary in the Defense segment, an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract for production of the 40mm M918E2 TP-DNT training cartridge valued at $119.8 million. A related press release explains this is the third delivery order under AMTEC’s current five-year IDIQ contract, with deliveries on the new order scheduled to begin in late 2027. The company highlighted that its Defense segment manufactures various ammunition and ordnance products alongside its Housewares/Small Appliance and Safety segments.
National Presto Industries reported strong top-line growth but lower profits for 2025. Net sales rose to $503.5 million from $388.2 million, a 29.7% increase, driven mainly by the Defense segment, where sales grew $121.9 million or 42.9% and operating earnings increased $15.5 million or 36.2%.
Net earnings fell to $33.1 million or $4.63 per share, down from $41.5 million or $5.82 per share, as Housewares/Small Appliance posted reduced sales and a significant operating loss tied to tariffs, cost pressures, and a distribution-center move. The Board declared a 2026 regular dividend of $1.00 per share with no extra dividend, set a dividend record date of March 9, 2026, and confirmed the annual meeting for May 19, 2026.
