- Record fiscal 2026 results: Sales reached nearly $20 billion, up 15% reported and 12% organically, while adjusted EPS rose 24% to $11.52 and adjusted operating margins expanded to 22%.
- Strong outlook supported by orders and backlog: Fourth-quarter orders increased 29% year over year to $6.1 billion, book-to-bill was 1.14, and backlog grew approximately 30% to about $8 billion. Management expects another year of roughly 12% double-digit organic sales growth in fiscal 2027.
