Did PH Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
Parker-Hannifin delivered a standout fiscal fourth quarter, posting adjusted EPS of $9.27 against a consensus estimate of $8.27, a beat of 12.15% that extended the company's streak of exceeding Wall Street expectations to five consecutive quarters. Revenue climbed 9.8% year over year to $5.75 billion, topping the $5.57 billion consensus by 3.31%, as broad-based organic growth across all three segments drove results well ahead of forecasts.

Adjusted results excluded items including $148 million in amortization of acquired intangibles and $19 million in business realignment charges, among others. Looking ahead, management guided fiscal 2027 adjusted EPS to a range of $34.25 to $35.25 and raised its FY31 adjusted segment operating margin target by 300 basis points to 30%, signaling confidence in continued expansion as industrial market conditions broaden.
