TL;DR. ACCO delivered sales in line with outlook, raised its 2026 sales and adjusted EPS outlook, benefited from tariff refunds and cost savings, and closed the Trust acquisition while adding EPOS and Trust synergy commitments. Comparable sales declined 6.2%, technology peripherals remained weak, and management took a conservative view of fourth-quarter free cash flow because of integrations, restructuring and working-capital uncertainty.
