|---|---|---|
| May 5, 2026 | mda_quarterly | Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 rose 3% to $4.6 billion, with adjusted diluted earnings per share increasing 4% to $1.54. Underlying sales growth of 0.5% was constrained by a 2% negative impact from software renewal timing and a 1% drag from the Middle East conflict. Gross margin declined 40 basis points to 53.1%, pressured by tariffs and software renewal timing, though the company may be eligible for IEEPA tariff refunds following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Within Software & Systems, Test & Measurement sales grew 16% driven by aerospace, defense, and semiconductor demand, while Control Systems & Software faced renewal timing headwinds despite strength in power and life sciences. Intelligent Devices sales grew 2%, with Americas-based power and LNG growth offsetting a 13% decline in China. Safety & Productivity sales rose 5% through pricing actions. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act increased the current effective tax rate but is expected to provide a benefit in fiscal 2027. For the full year 2026, the company forecasts net sales growth of approximately 4.5% and adjusted earnings per share between $6.45 and $6.55, with projected free cash flow of $3.5 to $3.6 billion. |
