AI Brief
Q4 FY26 earnings call · Sep 3, 2026
Q4 FY26
TL;DR. Brady reported record fiscal 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS, closed the transformational acquisition of Honeywell's PSS business (now IPS) on August 3, 2026, and issued fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS guidance of $6.25–$6.75 (18.1%–27.6% growth) including ~$0.80 of accretion from the IPS segment weighted to the second half.
Bullish
- + Operating cash flow increased ~35% in fiscal 2026 to $244.1M and net cash position more than doubled to $172.2M
- + Announced 41st consecutive annual dividend increase, raising the annual dividend from $0.98 to $1.00 per share
Bearish
- − GAAP Q4 income before income taxes declined 8.2% and GAAP EPS fell 7.7% to $0.96 due to acquisition/integration costs and executive transition costs
- − Europe & Australia organic growth was only 2.1% in Q4 amid a challenging manufacturing end market, with management citing rising input costs (electronics/memory, diesel) as a headwind
