Lindsay Corporation (NYSE:LNN) reported a 39% increase in fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 operating income to $15.8 million, supported by irrigation and infrastructure sales.

North American irrigation revenue increased 11%, while infrastructure sales rose 13%, marking the third consecutive quarter of road safety products growth.

International irrigation revenue remained comparable to the prior year, while Brazil's limited credit availability and low farmer profitability continued to constrain demand.

Lindsay expects approximately $8 million in annualized restructuring savings and plans to recognize remaining Middle East project services revenue within 12–24 months.

For fiscal 2026, North American irrigation revenue declined 4%, while infrastructure revenue fell 13% without the prior year's $20 million Road Zipper project.

The company returned $96.1 million to shareholders through dividends and repurchases, with $100 million remaining under its $150 million repurchase authorization.
