July's rally came mainly in the wake of surprisingly strong earnings results. Tennant revealed a sharp acceleration in its revenue growth for the fiscal second quarter thanks mainly to strength in the core U.S. market. Its growing portfolio of large-contract clients also helped push pricing higher to more than offset cost increases from tariffs.
