Description: BRC Brady November 08, 2025
Brady Corporation (NYSE:BRC) designs, manufactures, and distributes a broad portfolio of identification and workplace-safety solutions-including safety signs, RFID/barcode scanners, lockout/tagout devices, and healthcare-grade wristbands-serving industrial, healthcare, aerospace, and government customers across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The company reaches end-users through a mix of distributors, a direct sales force, and expanding digital channels.
Key metrics from the most recent fiscal year (FY 2023) show revenue of roughly $1.5 billion, an operating margin of 12 % and EPS of $2.30, reflecting steady demand for compliance-driven products amid tightening safety regulations. Growth is being propelled by three sector trends: (1) the global push for traceability and ESG reporting, which fuels demand for RFID and barcode solutions; (2) rising capital-intensive activity in renewable-energy and electric-vehicle manufacturing, driving higher spend on industrial labeling and lockout/tagout equipment; and (3) accelerated digital transformation of safety-compliance workflows, boosting sales of Brady’s software and cloud-based auditing services.
