Guidance

The company today reiterated its FY26 revenue growth and raised its FY26 EPS guidance.

The company continues to expect FY26 organic revenue growth of approximately 5%. The organic revenue growth guidance excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange and revenue reported as Other. Including Other revenue and the impact of foreign currency exchange, assuming recent foreign currency exchange rates, FY26 revenue growth on a reported basis would be in the range of 6.5% to 6.8%.

Excluding the potential impact from tariffs, Medtronic now expects underlying FY26 diluted non-GAAP EPS growth to be approximately 4.5% versus the prior guidance of approximately 4%. Including the reduced potential impact from tariffs of approximately $185 million versus the prior range of approximately $200 million to $350 million, Medtronic is raising its FY26 diluted non-GAAP EPS guidance to the new range of $5.60 to $5.66 versus the prior range of $5.50 to $5.60.

"As a result of our Q1 EPS outperformance and improved tariff impact assumption, we are raising our full year EPS guidance," said Thierry Piéton, Medtronic chief financial officer. "Our confidence continues to increase as we advance our revenue growth drivers and execute on efficiencies in manufacturing, supply chain, and operating expenses to drive earnings growth, and increase our growth investments in R&D, sales, and marketing, all with a deliberate focus on creating long-term shareholder value."
