The company recently reported record second-quarter revenue of $117.7 million, up about 1% even though net income dipped by 3% to $12.6 million, with operating income down by 10%. Growth has been bolstered by pricing and product mix, especially in agriculture and cat litter, but margins are under pressure from higher input costs (with domestic cost of golds sold up 4%) and operational challenges, including a winter storm that caused shipment delays.<br/><br/>Still, the underlying earnings are stable, and for long-term investors, this seems more like an opportunity for recalibration than a warning sign. Oil-Dri still holds a strong position in sorbent minerals and caters to diverse end markets, and steady execution will matter more than a sale like this.</p><h2>Should you buy stock in Oil-Dri Of America right now?</h2>
