Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 05 | Q1 2026 earnings | Positive | -4.5% | Q1 2026 revenue and EPS growth with raised full-year guidance. |
| Dec 04 | Q4/FY 2025 earnings | Positive | +5.7% | Q4 and FY 2025 growth with higher non-GAAP EPS and strong cash flow. |

Earnings-related headlines have often seen pressure despite fundamentally positive metrics, with an average move of -5.05% and several selloffs on strong quarters.
Recent history shows consistent revenue and non-GAAP EPS growth with recurring guidance updates. Q2 2025, Q3 2025, and Q1 2026 all highlighted rising sales and expanding non-GAAP earnings, yet shares often reacted negatively or modestly. Q4 2025 was a notable exception, with a positive move on solid results and free cash flow. Today’s Q2 2026 report again emphasizes record revenue, non-GAAP EPS strength, and updated fiscal 2026 guidance within that ongoing pattern.
Historical Comparison
Past earnings headlines for COO averaged a -5.05% move despite generally solid revenue and non-GAAP EPS trends. This Q2 2026 update continues the theme of steady growth, litigation and recall-related items, and detailed guidance framing shareholder expectations.
Across the last five earnings cycles, COO has shown steady revenue growth, expanding non-GAAP EPS, and recurring guidance updates, including reaffirmation of a long-term free cash flow objective exceeding $2.2B for fiscal 2026–2028.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock is up +8.6% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with COO’s record Q2 revenue of $1.082 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $1.21, up 26% year-over-year, despite GAAP pressure from a $271.6 million litigation charge. Historically, earnings have sometimes been followed by volatility, so investors have monitored whether recurring recall-related items or heavy expectations after multiple guidance updates could later temper enthusiasm or drive profit-taking.

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Guidance
The Company updated its fiscal year 2026 financial guidance. Details are summarized as follows:
- Fiscal 2026 total revenue of
$4.285 -$4.321 billion (organic growth of3.5% to4.5% )- CVI revenue of
$2.883 -$2.908 billion (organic growth of3.5% to4.5% ) - CSI revenue of
$1.402 -$1.414 billion (organic growth of4% to5% )
- CVI revenue of
- Fiscal 2026 non-GAAP diluted EPS of
$4.58 -$4.66 - Reaffirm previously communicated long-term free cash flow objective exceeding
$2.2 billion for fiscal years 2026 through 2028
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance excludes amortization and impairment of intangible assets, and certain income or gains and charges or expenses including acquisition and integration costs which we may incur as part of our continuing operations.
With respect to the Company’s guidance expectations, the Company has not reconciled non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance to GAAP diluted earnings per share due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting acquisition-related, integration and restructuring charges and expenses, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP and GAAP measures. Due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of such charges and expenses that impact GAAP diluted earnings per share, the Company is not able to provide such guidance.
Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Results
To supplement our financial results and guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we provide non-GAAP measures such as non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, as well as constant currency and organic revenue growth because we believe they are helpful for the investors to understand our consolidated operating results. Management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business, to make operating decisions, and to plan and forecast for future periods. The non-GAAP measures exclude costs which we generally would not have otherwise incurred in the periods presented as a part of our continuing operations. We provide further details of the non-GAAP adjustments made to arrive at our non-GAAP measures in the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations below. Our non-GAAP financial results and guidance are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
To present constant currency revenue growth, current period revenue for entities reporting in currencies other than the United States dollar are converted into United States dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the corresponding period in the prior year. To present organic revenue growth, we excluded the effect of foreign currency fluctuations and the impact of any acquisitions, divestitures and discontinuations that occurred in the comparable period.
We define the non-GAAP measure of free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is useful for investors as an additional measure of liquidity because it represents cash that is available to grow the business, make strategic acquisitions, repay debt, or buyback common stock. Management uses free cash flow internally to understand, manage, make operating decisions and evaluate our business. In addition, we use free cash flow to help plan and forecast future periods.
Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
