"The picture brightens considerably in 2026, with the stock up 14.3%, edging ahead of the S&P 500's 12.9% gain. Management expects fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS to grow 9%-11%, supported by 6%-7% sales growth, productivity initiatives and approximately $100 million in expected cost savings."
"Despite the near-term pressure, there is a meaningful bright spot in the earnings picture. According to FactSet, 57% of companies — 63 out of 111 — are issuing positive EPS guidance, which is well above the 5-year average of 41% and the 10-year average of 41%."
