Description: GWW WW Grainger January 28, 2026
W.W. Grainger Inc. (NYSE:GWW) distributes maintenance, repair, and operating (MRO) products and services across North America, Japan, and the United Kingdom, organized into the High-Touch Solutions North America and Endless Assortment segments. Its catalog includes safety, security, material-handling, pumps, cleaning, metalworking, and hand-tool items, complemented by technical support and inventory-management services for customers ranging from small businesses to large enterprises, governments, and institutions.
In FY 2025 the company reported $13.5 billion in revenue, a 5 % year-over-year increase driven by a 3 % rise in U.S. construction spending and a 4 % expansion in industrial production-key macro-drivers for MRO demand. Operating margin improved to 8.5 % (up from 7.9 % in FY 2024), while e-commerce accounted for roughly 25 % of total sales, reflecting continued channel shift. Inventory turnover accelerated to 4.2 ×, indicating tighter supply-chain execution and stronger cash conversion.
For a data-driven, quantitative deep-dive on Grainger’s valuation, the ValueRay model offers a transparent framework worth exploring.
