Share

Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) reported a 9.9% increase in fourth-quarter revenue to $9.8 billion, closing out its fiscal year 2026 with broad-based operational momentum across its core therapeutic portfolios.

On an organic basis, which excludes the impacts of foreign currency translations and business divestitures, revenue grew 6.6% for the three-month period, reflecting healthy healthcare consumer utilization and steady adoption of the company's advanced surgical technologies.

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the quarter arrived at $1.55.

For the full fiscal year 2026, total revenue reached $36.4 billion, marking an 8.4% reported increase and a 5.8% organic gain compared to the previous fiscal year.

Medtronic reported full-year GAAP earnings per share of $3.73, up 3.3% year over year.

Financial liquidity remained an operational anchor, with the Dublin-based medical technology giant generating $7.3 billion in cash from operations and securing $5.4 billion in free cash flow over the twelve-month period.

Backed by its steady cash generation, Medtronic’s board approved an increase in its quarterly cash dividend to $0.72 per share.

The hike marks the company's 49th consecutive annual dividend increase, placing the manufacturer within a rare class of long-term dividend growth stocks and emphasizing management's ongoing commitment to total shareholder returns.

Looking forward, Medtronic provided an encouraging financial outlook for fiscal year 2027, indicating that structural demand in the medical technology market remains resilient.

The company forecasts full-year organic revenue growth to land between 6.75% and 7.25%.

Additionally, Medtronic expects full-year non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share to range between $5.90 and $6, pointing toward projected efficiency improvements and pipeline launches to counter persistent global inflationary pressures.
