Plexus Posts $2.51 in Fourth-Quarter EPS
PLXS sits 81% above its 52-week low of $132.03 on elevated volume (2.8× avg).
Summary
Plexus reported fourth-quarter EPS of $2.51, per Dow Jones Newswires, on net income of $68.5 million and sales of $1.43 billion, or revenue of USD 1,427 million versus an IBES estimate of USD 1,359 million. The company beat its fourth-quarter guidance and set a higher margin goal, now a new 6.5%-7.0% non-GAAP operating margin goal. It guided Q1 FY27 revenue to $1.410-$1.460 billion with GAAP diluted EPS of $2.16-$2.32 and non-GAAP EPS of $2.46-$2.62. The print lands after a quarter in which the board authorized a new $100 million buyback in August and insiders, including the CEO, kept selling under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plans. The last 10-Q flagged strong revenue and EPS growth but a sharp drop in operating and free cash flow alongside higher debt, so cash generation is the line to check in the full release.
