Ralliant Corp (NYSE:RAL) on Tuesday reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results and raised its FY2026 guidance above estimates.
Ralliant reported quarterly earnings of 57 cents per share which beat the analyst consensus estimate of 49 cents per share. The company reported quarterly sales of $534.600 million which beat the analyst consensus estimate of $515.108 million.
Ralliant raised its FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance from $2.22-$2.42 to $2.53-$2.69, and also increased its sales guidance from $2.100 billion-$2.200 billion to $2.185 billion-$2.245 billion.
“Our first quarter performance exceeded the high end of guidance, and we are raising 2026 full year guidance,” said Tami Newcombe, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Following three consecutive quarters of sequential improvement, Test & Measurement not only returned to year-over-year growth but has seen broad-based acceleration in global demand. In addition, the increase in the replenishment of missile and munition programs has now driven over $1 billion of backlog in our Defense & Space end market. This positions us well to deliver organic revenue growth above our through-cycle target as we continue to execute our profitable growth strategy and support our customers at the forefront of data center infrastructure, physical AI, critical defense programs, and power grid resilience.”
Ralliant shares rose 2.7% to trade at $60.74 on Wednesday.
