Forgent Power Solutions, Inc., FPS
The financial data encompasses the quarter that concluded on June 30, 2026. Company leadership organized an investor conference call scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the details.
Market expectations centered around fourth-quarter revenues in the $425-$430 million range and adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.23 prior to the announcement.
Expectations were already elevated entering the earnings release. During the third fiscal quarter, revenues reached $379 million, representing an increase of over 100% compared to the same period last year. New bookings exploded 308% higher to establish a company milestone of $867 million, driving the order backlog to almost $2 billion.
Company executives had previously increased their fiscal 2026 revenue projection to a band between $1.35 billion and $1.39 billion. The midpoint of this guidance range represents roughly 82% growth compared to the previous fiscal year.
Shares had experienced downward momentum in recent trading sessions. The expiration of post-IPO lockup periods combined with secondary stock offerings created negative pressure, resulting in substantial price declines throughout the preceding three-month period. This lowered valuation level potentially magnified the bullish response when the financial results were announced.
FPS currently commands a market capitalization of $8.65 billion and trades at a price-to-earnings multiple of 189.5. The stock’s 50-day moving average stands at $35.89, while the 200-day moving average is positioned at $40.21.
