Revenue still grew 7.0% year over year on a reported basis, with the Agilent CrossLab Group standing out as the quarter's brightest spot, posting 9% reported revenue growth to $758.00 million at a 31.6% operating margin. Operating cash flow fell sharply to $268.00 million from $431.00 million a year ago, reflecting higher employee compensation payouts and a surge in income tax payments to $105.00 million from just $19.00 million. Despite the modest misses, management raised its full-year fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to $7.30 billion to $7.50 billion and lifted non-GAAP EPS guidance to $5.90 to $6.04, citing favorable currency tailwinds, while institutional investors have continued building positions in the stock.
