Medtronic says an offering and split-off is its current preferred structure for separating the diabetes business, though a final decision hasn't been reached. The company disclosed that the separation is expected to occur through a series of capital markets transactions, which could also include a spin-off. The diabetes segment grew 8.1% organically in fiscal fourth quarter. Medtronic is directing capital toward tuck-in acquisitions in other areas, including the completed CathWorks deal and announced intentions to acquire Scientia Vascular in Neurovascular and SPR Therapeutics in Neuromodulation.

Medtronic posted its strongest annual revenue growth in a decade in fiscal 2026, reaching $36.4 billion, yet non-GAAP operating margin, a measure of the medical device company's profitability, contracted 130 basis points for the full year. Two factors drove much of the pressure: the MiniMed Blackstone payment related to the diabetes business separation, and tariff-related costs. Management attributed the top-line performance to disciplined execution and portfolio strength, though the margin compression shows the tension between revenue momentum and non-operating expenses. The fourth quarter alone saw a 230-basis-point decline in non-GAAP operating margin.
