Price Chart
Executive Summary
STERIS reported fiscal Q4 2026 adjusted EPS of $2.83, slightly above the $2.74 prior year but below the $2.85 consensus estimate. Revenue grew 7% to $1.6B, in line with the $1.6B consensus. The company guided fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS of $11.10-$11.30 (9-11% growth) and constant currency organic revenue growth of 6-7%, while announcing a new $1B share buyback program. The EPS miss relative to consensus and tariff/inflation headwinds are offset by solid revenue growth and positive guidance.
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The EPS miss vs consensus is modest but may weigh on the stock near-term. However, FY27 guidance of 9-11% EPS growth and 6-7% organic revenue growth, plus the $1B buyback, provide a supportive floor. Watch the earnings call for commentary on tariff impacts and Healthcare segment margin trajectory.
