Illinois Tool Works ( ITW ) earned $ 2.44 per share in the quarter on $3.8 billion in sales, but fell about $40 million short on revenue.

Sales were down 3.4% year over year , due to a combination of foreign currency fluctuations and tepid demand in some end markets.

The company does a lot of its manufacturing in the markets where it sells, helping to partly insulate it from tariffs.
