Is NOVT Overvalued or Undervalued? Novanta Inc's current price of $120.89 is significantly below its GF Value™ of $168.13, indicating that the stock is undervalued by approximately 28.1%. This valuation presents an opportunity for investors looking for potential upside. However, it is important to consider the market's current sentiment, particularly in light of the recent insider selling, which may indicate caution among current shareholders. The GF Valuation label suggests that the stock is considered modestly undervalued, providing a margin of safety for potential investors.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. The disparity between the current stock price and the GF Value™ reflects a potential investment opportunity, but investors should weigh this against market trends and insider behavior.

Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 82.8x 81.2x Forward P/E 33.9x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 82.8x is slightly above its 5-year median P/E of 81.2x, indicating that the stock is trading at a premium relative to its historical valuation.

First Quarter
“Novanta delivered another quarter of excellent bookings, growing 37% year-over-year and representing a 1.10 book-to-bill ratio, driven by continued new product momentum and strong commercial execution by our business teams,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer. “We exceeded expectations with revenue growth of more than 10% year-over-year on a reported basis and 3% organically. Adjusted EBITDA advanced 14%, Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.81 increased 9%, and Operating Cash Flow grew 63%.”
For the first quarter of 2026, Novanta generated GAAP revenue of $257.7 million, an increase of $24.3 million or 10.4%, compared to prior year. The Company’s acquisition activities resulted in a net increase in revenue of $9.0 million or 3.8%. Year-over-year changes in foreign currency exchange rates favorably impacted revenue by $8.2 million or 3.5%. Organic Revenue Growth, which excludes the net impact of acquisitions and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, was an increase of 3.1% (see “Organic Revenue Growth” in the non-GAAP reconciliations below).
For the first quarter of 2026, GAAP operating income was $27.5 million, compared to $32.4 million in the prior year. GAAP net income was $21.1 million, compared to $21.2 million in the prior year. GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $0.51, compared to $0.59 in the prior year. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding was 41.2 million for the first quarter of 2026.
Adjusted Diluted EPS increased 9.5% to $0.81, compared to $0.74 in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.2% to $57.1 million, compared to $50 million in the prior year.
Operating cash flow was $51.6 million, compared to $31.7 million in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in operating cash flow was primarily driven by improvements in net working capital.
Financial Guidance
“Strong bookings and a growing backlog support a step up to 6% to 8% organic revenue growth in the Second Quarter. We see building momentum across several of our end markets, especially in AI-driven advanced industrial and semiconductor markets, as well as advanced robotics, and minimally invasive and robotic surgery; all of which look set to compound as the year continues,” said Matthijs Glastra. “We remain confident in delivering strong organic revenue growth for the full year and rigorously executing in a dynamic trade and economic climate to drive meaningful shareholder value.”
For the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects GAAP revenue to be in the range of $259 million to $264 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $58 million to $62 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $0.81 to $0.86. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates.
For the full year 2026, the Company expects GAAP revenue to be in the range of $1,040 million to $1,055 million. The Company expects Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $245 million to $250 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS to be in the range of $3.50 to $3.65. The Company’s guidance assumes no significant changes in foreign exchange rates.
Novanta provides earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide earnings guidance on a GAAP basis, with the exception of GAAP revenue guidance. A reconciliation of the Company’s forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is not provided because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including acquisitions and related expenses; impact of purchase price allocations for recently completed acquisitions; future changes in the fair value of contingent considerations; future restructuring expenses; foreign exchange gains/(losses); significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits); benefits or expenses associated with the completion of tax audits; divestitures and related expenses; gains and losses from sale of real estate assets; costs related to product line closures; intangible asset impairment charges and related asset write-offs; and other charges reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of historical non-GAAP financial measures, the amounts of which, based on past experience, could be material. For additional information regarding Novanta’s non-GAAP financial measures, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Conference Call Information
The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss these results and to provide a business update. To access the call, please dial (888) 346-3959 prior to the scheduled conference call time. Alternatively, the conference call can be accessed online via a live webcast on the Events & Presentations page of the Investors section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com.
A replay of the audio webcast will be available approximately three hours after the conclusion of the call in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.novanta.com. The replay will remain available until Monday, July 06, 2026.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release are Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes, Adjusted Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income, and Net Debt.
The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and supplementary information to investors regarding the operating performance of the Company. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP financial measures would be particularly useful to investors because of the significant changes that have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business in accordance with the execution of the Company’s strategy. This strategy includes streamlining the Company’s existing operations through site and functional consolidations, strategic divestitures and product line closures, expanding the Company’s business through significant internal investments, and broadening the Company’s product and service offerings through acquisitions of innovative and complementary technologies and solutions. The financial impact of certain elements of these activities, particularly acquisitions, divestitures, and site and functional restructurings, is often large relative to the Company’s overall financial performance and can adversely affect the comparability of its operating results and investors’ ability to analyze the business from period to period.
The Company’s Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used by management to evaluate operating performance, communicate financial results to the Board of Directors, benchmark results against historical performance and the performance of peers, and evaluate investment opportunities, including acquisitions and divestitures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin are used to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees. The Company has also used in the past, and may use in the future, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA as performance targets for certain performance-based restricted stock units. Accordingly, the Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide greater transparency and insight into management’s method of analysis.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on the Company’s reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial measures. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures as provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following provides additional explanations for non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company, including explanations for certain non-GAAP adjustments that may not be present in the quarterly disclosures included in the current earnings release but have been used by the Company in the two most recent fiscal years. See the tables above for the calculations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this earnings release.
Organic Revenue Growth
The Company defines the term “organic revenue” as revenue excluding the impact from business acquisitions, divestitures, product line discontinuations, and the effect of foreign currency translation. The Company uses the related term “organic revenue growth” to refer to the financial performance metric of comparing current period organic revenue with the reported revenue of the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure, when taken together with our GAAP financial measures, allows the Company and its investors to better measure the Company’s performance and evaluate long-term performance trends. Organic revenue growth also facilitates easier comparisons of the Company’s performance with prior and future periods and relative comparisons to its peers. The Company excludes the effect of foreign currency translation from these measures because foreign currency translation is subject to volatility and can obscure underlying business trends. The Company excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures because these activities can vary dramatically between reporting periods and between the Company and its peers, which the Company believes makes comparisons of long-term performance trends difficult for management and investors. Organic Revenue Growth is also used as a performance metric to determine bonus payments for senior management and employees.
Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin
The calculation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, and inventory related charges associated with product line closures because: (i) the amounts are non-cash; (ii) the Company cannot influence the timing and amount of future expense recognition; and (iii) excluding such expenses provides investors and management better visibility into the underlying trends and performance of our businesses. The Company also excludes inventory related charges associated with product line closures and operational transformation costs as these costs occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin
The calculation of Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, and operational transformation costs for the reasons described above for Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Profit Margin. The Company also excludes restructuring costs, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation, charges related to an insurance recovery, officer transition costs, and EU medical device regulation charges as the significant charges have occurred outside of the Company’s day-to-day business for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes
The calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, operational transformation costs, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation, charges related to an insurance recovery, officer transition costs, and EU medical device regulation charges for Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Operating Margin. The Company also excludes foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) as well as the write-off of costs related to our debt refinancing from the calculation of Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes as the Company cannot fully influence the timing and amount of foreign exchange transaction gains (losses).
Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate
Non-GAAP Income Tax Provision/(Benefit) and Effective Tax Rate are calculated based on the Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes by jurisdiction, the applicable tax rates in effect for the respective jurisdictions and the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above. In addition, the Company excludes significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions not related to current year activity, tax audits, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate.
Adjusted Net Income
Because Income Before Income Taxes is included in determining Net Income, the calculation of Adjusted Net Income also excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, operational transformation costs, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation, charges related to an insurance recovery, officer transition costs, EU medical device regulation charges, write-off of costs related to our debt refinancing, and foreign exchange transaction gains (losses) for the reasons described above for Adjusted Income Before Income Taxes. In addition, the Company excludes (i) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances and uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate; and (ii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.
Adjusted Diluted EPS
Because Net Income is used in the calculation of Diluted EPS, Adjusted Diluted EPS excludes: (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets; (ii) inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions; (iii) inventory related charges associated with product line closures; (iv) operational transformation costs; (v) restructuring, acquisition and related costs; (vi) discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation; (vii) officer transition costs; (viii) charges related to an insurance recovery; (ix) EU medical device regulation charges; (x) write-off of costs related to our debt refinancing (xi) foreign exchange transaction gains (losses); (xii) significant discrete income tax expenses (benefits) related to releases of valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, tax audits or amendments to prior year returns, certain changes in tax laws, and acquisition related tax planning actions on the Company’s effective tax rate; and (xiii) the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments for the reasons described above for Adjusted Net Income.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as income before deducting interest (income) expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation, amortization, non-cash share-based compensation, inventory fair value adjustments related to business acquisitions, inventory related charges associated with product line closures, restructuring, acquisition and related costs, discrete costs related to the planning and design phase of a Financial and Operation system implementation, charges related to an insurance recovery, officer transition costs, operational transformation costs, EU medical device regulation charges, and other non-operating (income) expense items, including foreign exchange transaction (gains) losses, costs related to our debt refinancing and net periodic pension costs of the Company’s frozen U.K. defined benefit pension plan for the reasons described above in the introductory paragraphs of the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Revenue.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as, or similar to, some of the adjustments in this presentation.
Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income
The Company defines Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of property, plant and equipment and plus cash proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment. Free Cash Flow as a Percentage of Net Income is defined as Free Cash Flow divided by Net Income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are important indicators of the Company’s liquidity as well as its ability to service its outstanding debt and to fund future growth.
Net Debt
The Company defines Net Debt as its total debt as reported on the consolidated balance sheet plus unamortized deferred financing costs and less its cash and cash equivalents as of the end of the period presented. Management uses Net Debt to monitor the Company’s outstanding debt obligations that could not be satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand.
Novanta (NOVT - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.81 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.78 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.74 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +3.85%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this photonic and motion control components maker would post earnings of $0.88 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.91, delivering a surprise of +3.41%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Novanta, which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Components industry, posted revenues of $257.71 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.70%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $233.37 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Novanta shares have added about 16.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.1%.
What's Next for Novanta?While Novanta has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Novanta was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.88 on $256.06 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $3.54 on $1.04 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Electronics - Miscellaneous Components is currently in the top 26% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Vishay Precision (VPG - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 12.
This precision sensors and systems producer is expected to post break-even quarterly earnings per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -100%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Vishay Precision's revenues are expected to be $77.12 million, up 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.

The price trend for Novanta (NOVT - Free Report) has been bearish lately and the stock has lost 7.3% over the past week. However, the formation of a hammer chart pattern in its last trading session indicates that the stock could witness a trend reversal soon, as bulls might have gained significant control over the price to help it find support.
While the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of nearing a bottom with potential exhaustion of selling pressure, rising optimism among Wall Street analysts about the future earnings of this photonic and motion control components maker is a solid fundamental factor that enhances the prospects of a trend reversal for the stock.
Understanding Hammer Chart and the Technique to Trade ItThis is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a 'hammer.'
In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day's close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.
When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.
Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.
Here's What Increases the Odds of a Turnaround for NOVTAn upward trend in earnings estimate revisions that NOVT has been witnessing lately can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That's because empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
The consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 1.3% over the last 30 days. This means that the Wall Street analysts covering NOVT are majorly in agreement about the company's potential to report better earnings than what they predicted earlier.

And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .

Is NOVT Overvalued or Undervalued? Currently, Novanta Inc's shares are trading at $153.60, which represents a slight discount of 0.4% relative to the GF Value™ of $154.26. This minor margin of safety suggests that the stock is fairly valued according to the GF Value™ methodology, which estimates intrinsic value based on historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the relatively close alignment between the stock price and the GF Value™, there appears to be minimal risk of significant overvaluation at this time.
However, while the stock is deemed fairly valued, potential investors should be cautious of the recent insider selling activity, which might signal a lack of confidence from those closest to the company. This factor, along with the strong GF Score™ of 89/100, indicates that while there is no immediate opportunity in terms of undervaluation, the company still possesses robust fundamentals worthy of consideration.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novanta Inc. (NASDAQ: NOVT) (“Novanta” or the “Company”), a trusted technology partner to leading global medical and industrial original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Riverpoint Medical (“Riverpoint Medical” or “Riverpoint”), a category leader in high-growth minimally invasive surgical consumables, from Arlington Capital Partners (“Arlington”), a Washington D.C.-area private investment firm. Under the terms of the agreement, Novanta will acquire all outstanding equity interests of the parent company of Riverpoint Medical for an upfront cash consideration of $1.2 billion and a milestone payment of $250 million in the first quarter of 2027. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
The transaction is aligned with Novanta’s strategy to shift its portfolio to more durable, recurring revenue streams, which will help further reduce business cyclicality, deepen Novanta’s medical OEM partnerships, and help compound and accelerate revenue and cash flows.
Riverpoint Medical is a leading developer, designer, and manufacturer of medical devices focused on advanced surgical fibers and related technologies, providing strategic OEMs with private-label minimally invasive surgical consumables and instruments across high-growth end markets including sports medicine, trauma and cardiovascular surgery. Riverpoint’s portfolio includes unique implants and constructs requiring complex assemblies, and novel IP-protected coatings for absorbable and non-absorbable implant material.
“Riverpoint Medical is an exceptional business, a market leader in high-growth minimally invasive surgical consumables that is perfectly aligned with our strategic direction and our business model,” said Matthijs Glastra, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Novanta. “Riverpoint Medical is growing revenue and cash flows at twice the rate of Novanta, with an expected long-term annual revenue growth outlook of 12% to 15%. Together with Novanta's core business, this acquisition is projected to double our recurring medical consumables revenue to approximately $300 million, deepen our medical end-market concentration to 60% of total revenue, and meaningfully accelerate revenue and profit growth. Because Novanta and Riverpoint serve a common customer base, we will be able to deepen those relationships while adding an additional addressable market opportunity of $2 billion. Beyond the core transaction, we expect this will meaningfully advance our regional manufacturing footprint, placing FDA-registered production capacity in the markets our customers serve, reducing supply chain risk and improving responsiveness. Riverpoint is the right fit, at the right time, and Novanta is the right owner.”
"Novanta is the ideal partner for Riverpoint Medical and for the customers we serve," said Doug King, Chief Executive Officer of Riverpoint Medical. "We have built a uniquely capable business that serves as the innovation engine behind some of the most important new product development programs of our OEM customers in sports medicine, trauma and cardiovascular surgery, utilizing highly specialized implantable surgical fibers. Joining Novanta will accelerate our strategy, while giving our customers access to a broader suite of surgical solutions through a single, deeply trusted OEM partner. We are thankful to Arlington for their strong partnership in guiding us to this point and are excited about the opportunities and resources Novanta will provide our team going forward, giving them the resources and operational infrastructure to scale faster and expand into adjacencies. We are proud of what Riverpoint has accomplished but are more excited about what we will create together."
Matt Altman, a Managing Partner at Arlington, said, “When we first partnered with Riverpoint, we recognized a company with exceptional engineering talent and differentiated capabilities in surgical fiber and biomedical textiles. Together with the management team, we’ve meaningfully expanded its product portfolio, scaled its manufacturing, and broadened its end markets. Novanta is the ideal home for Riverpoint's next chapter, and we're confident the combination will accelerate innovation for customers and create lasting opportunities for the team.” Gordon Auduong, a Managing Director at Arlington, added, “Riverpoint exemplifies the kind of business we set out to build at Arlington—mission-critical products, deep technical capability, and a culture of innovation. We’re proud of what this team has accomplished and excited to see Riverpoint join Novanta, a strategic partner with the scale and resources to take its technologies to the next level.”
Transaction details and financial impact
The upfront purchase price of $1.2 billion represents approximately 19x Riverpoint’s estimated 2026 Adjusted EBITDA excluding synergies, or approximately 17x estimated 2026 Adjusted EBITDA, including the full value of expected year-5 pro forma synergies.
Under Novanta’s ownership upon closing, Riverpoint is expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA, including synergies, of approximately $80 million in 2027. In addition, Novanta has identified more than $80 million in potential cumulative profit and cash flow synergies over five years after closing. Upon completion of the transaction, Riverpoint Medical will be reported under Novanta’s Medical Solutions operating segment.
The transaction will be financed through a combination of cash on hand and Novanta’s existing credit facility, and the recently completed $300 million equity raise.
The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive in 2026 to Novanta’s Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and in 2027 accretive to revenue growth rate, Adjusted Gross and EBITDA Margins, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Operating Cash Flows. Novanta expects its net leverage ratio to be approximately 2.7x (less than 3.0x on a gross leverage basis) after closing the transaction in the Third Quarter 2026. Novanta expects to reduce its net leverage ratio to be below 2.3x by year-end 2027.
The Company notes that it confirms its previously issued Second Quarter and Full Year 2026 financial guidance for the standalone Company and will update guidance for the impact of the Riverpoint acquisition once the transaction is closed.

On April 15, 2026, Dana Inc DAN shares fell 3.4% to a current price of $35.37. The stock has experienced a 52-week range of $10.85 to $36.95, reflecting significant volatility over the past year.
GF Value™ verdict: Current price is $35.37, while GF Value™ estimates fair value at $13.85, indicating the stock is 155.4% overvalued.GF Score™ of 64/100 suggests that the stock is above average in terms of overall quality and potential for long-term returns.Notable signal: There have been no insider transactions in the last 3 months, indicating a lack of insider confidence or activity. Is DAN Overvalued or Undervalued? The current price of Dana Inc shares at $35.37 is significantly higher than the GF Value™ estimate of $13.85, which suggests that the stock is overvalued by approximately 155.4%. This high degree of overvaluation poses risks for potential investors, as the market price does not appear to reflect the underlying intrinsic value of the company. A substantial margin of safety is crucial for investors looking to enter a position in a stock, and in this case, it is severely lacking.
According to the GF Valuation label, Dana Inc is classified as "Significantly Overvalued." This classification implies that the current market price is not supported by the company's financial fundamentals and growth prospects. While overvalued stocks can still rise in price temporarily, they often carry higher risks of a price correction or increased volatility, making this a critical consideration for potential investors.
How Does DAN's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 52.8x 23.0x Forward P/E 13.2x N/A Dana Inc's current P/E ratio of 52.8x is significantly above its 5-year median P/E of 23.0x, indicating that the stock is trading at a premium compared to its historical valuation. Additionally, the forward P/E of 13.2x suggests a potential decline in earnings expectations. This P/E analysis agrees with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the notion that the stock is currently overvalued.
What Does DAN's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 64/100 Financial Strength 4/10 Profitability 6/10 Growth 4/10 Valuation 1/10 Momentum 6/10 The GF Score™ of 64/100 indicates that Dana Inc is above average in terms of overall quality and potential for long-term returns. However, the scores reveal a mixed outlook: while the Profitability and Momentum ratings are relatively stronger at 6/10, the Valuation score is notably low at 1/10, indicating significant overvaluation concerns. Additionally, the Financial Strength and Growth scores of 4/10 suggest that the company may face challenges in maintaining robust financial health and growth in the future.

This lack of insider activity may reflect a cautious stance among executives regarding the company's future prospects or the current market valuation. Typically, insider buying can be a positive signal, indicating confidence in the company's direction, while a lack of activity might raise concerns about management's outlook.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Dana Inc is currently overvalued. This overvaluation, combined with low margins of safety and weak valuation metrics, suggests that potential investors should exercise caution when considering an investment in this stock.

Peer-reviewed study finds standard HER2 IHC testing shows limited predictive value for T-DXd while Ignite’s platform — the only commercially available multiplex assay in the study—demonstrates predictive value for patient outcomes
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aditxt, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTX) (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), a social innovation platform accelerating promising health innovations, today announced that its precision oncology subsidiary, Ignite Proteomics, LLC (“Ignite” or “Ignite Proteomics”), has been featured in a peer-reviewed study published online ahead of print in npj Precision Oncology, a Nature journal. The study, led by investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, evaluated outcomes among patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd, marketed as Enhertu® by AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo) and assessed multiple quantitative HER2-related assays for their association with treatment outcomes.
While conventional HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed some association with outcomes in the broader patient population, the study found that quantitative HER2-related assays provided more granular predictive information in several matched biomarker sub-cohorts. In those sub-cohorts, traditional IHC classification often showed limited predictive value compared with quantitative approaches. Ignite’s Reverse Phase Protein Array (RPPA) platform, the only commercially available multiplex assay in the study, was one of the quantitative methods that demonstrated meaningful predictive value for patient outcomes.
T-DXd is an approved treatment option for a broad population of patients with metastatic breast cancer, yet there is currently no reliable way to predict which patients will respond.
“According to several studies, approximately 40% of cancers do not respond to the FDA approved therapy at front line in a metastatic setting,” said Jeff Busch, Chief Executive Officer of Ignite Proteomics. In oncology, published research and institutional analyses have shown that approved therapies often fail to benefit a substantial portion of the patients who receive them. A 2017 study published in the BMJ reported that 57% of cancer drug indications approved by the European Medicines Agency entered the market without evidence of improved survival or quality-of-life benefit. MIT researchers have noted that targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors typically work for only 40% to 80% of patients expected to respond. Johns Hopkins has reported that only 15% to 20% of patients achieve durable results with immunotherapy.
Ignite’s RPPA platform measures multiple protein biomarkers, including pathway activation and payload-relevant markers, from a single tumor sample. In the Dana-Farber study, Ignite’s platform was the only commercially available multiplex assay evaluated and demonstrated predictive value in matched biomarker cohorts where conventional HER2 IHC showed limitations. Notably, the study found that TOPO1 expression, the target of T-DXd’s cytotoxic payload, was detectable by Ignite’s platform in certain HER2-negative patients, highlighting the potential value of measuring tumor biology beyond HER2 expression alone. Ignite’s assay is CLIA-certified, CAP-accredited, listed on the Medicare Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule under AMA CPT code PLA 0249U, and orderable today on standard biopsy tissue.
“Cancer therapy has made extraordinary progress, but oncology still has a treatment-selection problem,” added Busch. “Too many patients receive therapies without enough information about whether those therapies are likely to work for their tumor biology. That is not an indictment of the drugs. These are powerful therapies. The issue is that cancer is complex, and single-marker testing often does not capture the functional biology that drives response or resistance. Ignite’s RPPA platform was built to address that gap by measuring multiple proteins, pathway activation, and payload-relevant biology from the same tumor sample. In this study, one of the world’s leading breast cancer research teams evaluated our platform alongside standard testing, and our platform demonstrated predictive value where conventional testing had limitations. That is the opportunity: better data, better treatment selection, and fewer patients receiving therapies that were never likely to help them.”
“This publication represents an important milestone for our subsidiary Ignite and reflects the strength of Aditxt’s model of advancing and scaling impactful health innovations,” said Amro Albanna, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aditxt. “Peer-reviewed clinical evidence from one of the world’s leading cancer research institutions is key to accelerating the commercialization of this platform and expanding access to it for millions of patients making treatment decisions without clear guidance on what will work. Our goal is to help ensure that more patients receive the right therapy at the right time, with the potential to improve outcomes and make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, equity grant expense, restructuring expense, non-service cost components of pension and other postretirement benefit costs and other adjustments not related to our core operations (gain/loss on debt extinguishment, pension settlements, divestitures, impairment, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of our ability to maintain and continue to invest in our operations and provide shareholder returns. We use adjusted EBITDA in assessing the effectiveness of our business strategies, evaluating and pricing potential acquisitions and as a factor in making incentive compensation decisions. In addition to its use by management, we also believe adjusted EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate financial performance of our company relative to other Tier 1 automotive suppliers. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for earnings (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss) or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure which we have defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, plant and equipment plus proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment plus cash paid for purchases of leased facilities plus cash paid for Off-Highway business divestiture related costs. We believe adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors in evaluating the operational cash flow of the company inclusive of the spending required to maintain the operations. Adjusted free cash flow is not intended to represent nor be an alternative to the measure of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP will be included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measures of net income (loss). Providing net income (loss) guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income (loss), including restructuring actions, asset impairments and certain income tax adjustments. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with the most comparable GAAP measures for the historical periods presented are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.

SAGUENAY, Quebec, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arianne Phosphate Inc (the “Company” or “Arianne”) (TSX VENTURE: DAN; OTCQB: DRRSF; FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac à Paul project in Quebec’s Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce that phosphoric acid has been successfully produced on a continuous basis using its high-purity phosphate concentrate. This accomplishment marks the first time phosphoric acid has been continuously produced in the Province from a Quebec-sourced apatite concentrate in over 130 years. This work was done in partnership with Corem and with the support of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan).
“The importance of phosphate continues to grow while at the same time supply chains are increasingly threatened by geopolitical events,” said Raphael Gaudreault, COO of Arianne Phosphate. “This breakthrough is yet another example of the quality of our phosphate concentrate and demonstrates the opportunity for a fully localized phosphate supply chain here in Quebec, Canada, that could end a century of dependence on imported rock. Further, much of the world is now questioning its supply chains and this work shows how Arianne will be an important and trusted partner to the West for this critical material. This work strengthens Canada’s critical minerals strategy, secures domestic feedstock and positions Quebec as the North American leader in the green energy transition.”
During tests performed at Corem, the Company produced roughly 1.5 tonnes of phosphoric acid on a continuous basis over a one-week period. Due to the nature of Arianne’s phosphate concentrate, the phosphoric acid produced is easily upgraded to a purified phosphoric acid (see Press Release dated April 9, 2026), the material required for the LFP battery industry as well as high-performance fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and semiconductor production. Additionally, Arianne’s phosphate concentrate requires considerably less sulphuric acid to produce its phosphoric acid, another significant advantage as almost 50% of sulphur flows through the Strait of Hormuz.
“For many years the supply of phosphate was taken for granted with few questioning accesses to this critical material,” said Brian Ostroff, Head of Strategic and Business Initiatives. “Despite these headwinds, Arianne spent $100 million dollars and over 15 years advancing its Lac à Paul project. Today, Arianne owns the world’s largest greenfield phosphate deposit that can produce a very pure phosphate concentrate and, is the West’s only permitted phosphate mine. With government, industry and investors now understanding this challenging macro, the importance of Arianne should be underscored.”
Adoption of semi-annual financial reporting
Additionally, the Company announces adoption of semi-annual financial reporting ("SAR"). This news release is being issued and filed pursuant to Coordinated Blanket Order 51-933 Exemptions to Permit Semi-Annual Reporting for Certain Venture Issuers ("CBO 51-933").
CBO 51-933 allows eligible venture issuers to voluntarily move from a quarterly to a semi-annual financial reporting framework. By adopting SAR, Arianne aims to reduce the administrative and financial burden of quarterly reporting. As a result of adopting SAR, the Company will not file interim financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three-month period ending March 31 and the nine-month period ending September 30 of each applicable fiscal year. Accordingly, the initial interim period for which the Company does not intend to file an interim financial report and related MD&A will be for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Arianne will continue to file audited annual financial statements (due within 120 days of December 31) and six-month interim financial reports and related MD&A (due within 60 days of June 30). The Company remains committed to timely and transparent disclosure and will continue to report all material changes and significant developments as required under National Instrument 51-102 - Continuous Disclosure Obligations.
Clarification Regarding Bonus Warrants Issued under the Credit Facility Extension
Reference is made to Arianne’s press release dated April 1, 2026 announcing the closing on agreement to extend its credit facilities. The Company confirms that the restriction to exercise the 25 million 2026 Warrants (as defined in the press release) if such exercise would result in the Lender (as defined in the press release) holding, on a partially-diluted basis, more than 19.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Arianne also applies in the case of a Business Combination Transaction (as defined in the press release) and, as a result, the exercise of the 2026 Bonus Warrants remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and, if required by the Exchange, of the disinterested shareholders of the Company.
About Arianne Phosphate:
Arianne Phosphate (“Arianne Phosphate Inc.”) (www.arianne-inc.com) is developing the Lac à Paul phosphate deposits located approximately 200 km north of the Saguenay/Lac St. Jean area of Quebec, Canada. These deposits will produce a high-quality igneous apatite concentrate grading 39% P2O5 with little or no contaminants (Feasibility Study released in 2013).

Is DAN Overvalued or Undervalued? Dana Inc DAN is currently trading significantly above its GF Value™, which is estimated at $15.82. With the current price at $32.15, this represents a substantial premium of 103.2%. The GF Valuation label classifies the stock as "Significantly Overvalued," indicating that the current market price does not reflect the intrinsic value of the company based on its financial performance and growth potential. This overvaluation poses a risk for investors, as the stock may be vulnerable to price corrections if market conditions change or if company performance does not meet investor expectations.
GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Investors should be cautious when considering the current price of Dana Inc, as the margin of safety appears to be quite limited.
How Does DAN's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 3.1x 20.8x Forward P/E 12.4x N/A The current P/E (TTM) of 3.1x is significantly below its 5-year median P/E of 20.8x, indicating that the stock is trading well below its historical valuation. However, this analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict of overvaluation, suggesting that despite low P/E metrics, the current price does not reflect the company's intrinsic value.
What Does DAN's GF Score™ Tell Us?

However, the weakest area is the valuation rank, which stands at 1/10, reinforcing the notion that the stock is currently overvalued despite recent strong performance.
What Are Insiders Doing with DAN Stock? There have been no insider transactions in the last three months, suggesting a lack of confidence or interest from the company's executives in buying or selling shares at the current price levels. This inaction might indicate that insiders do not find the stock attractive at its current valuation or are awaiting further developments before making moves.
What This Means for Investors Based on the analysis of the GF Value™, Dana Inc DAN is classified as overvalued. The significant disparity between the current stock price and its intrinsic value suggests that potential risks outweigh the possible rewards at this time.

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GATX Corporation (NYSE: GATX) today reported 2026 first-quarter net income attributable to GATX of $85.5 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to GATX of $78.6 million, or $2.15 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.
"Consistent with our expectations entering the year, our global businesses performed well in the first quarter," said Robert C. Lyons, president and chief executive officer of GATX. "Integration of the Wells Fargo rail operating lease fleet is progressing well, positioning us to serve customers with an expanded portfolio supported by our operational and commercial expertise. Beginning this quarter, commercial metrics and fleet statistics for Rail North America reflect the combined legacy and newly acquired fleets, consistent with consolidation in our financial statements. At quarter end, Rail North America's fleet utilization remained high at 98.1%, and the first-quarter renewal success rate was 79.1%, reflecting stable demand for existing railcars. The renewal lease rate change of GATX’s Lease Price Index was 22.3% with an average renewal term of 56 months. Furthermore, we generated first-quarter gains on asset dispositions of approximately $50.0 million, reflecting continued strength in the secondary market and strong asset valuations.
"At GATX Rail Europe, fleet utilization remained steady at 94.7% in the first quarter. Our European team achieved increases in renewal lease rates compared to expiring rates across the majority of car types, despite macroeconomic pressures weighing on our customers' fleet planning activities. At GATX Rail India, demand for railcars remained solid, with fleet utilization at 100.0% at quarter end.
"Within Engine Leasing, we continued to benefit from strong demand for aircraft spare engines, with solid performance across our engine portfolios in the first quarter. While we are closely monitoring developments related to the Middle East conflict and their implications for global air travel and airline financial performance, based on the resiliency the industry has demonstrated through various external events over many decades, we remain confident in the long-term strength of this business."
Mr. Lyons added, "First-quarter investment volume totaled more than $4.5 billion, including the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s rail operating lease portfolio for approximately $4.2 billion. During the quarter, we executed on attractive investment opportunities to acquire new and existing railcars across our global rail businesses."
Mr. Lyons concluded, “Our first quarter progressed largely as we anticipated. Our expanded portfolio of long‑lived assets, deep customer relationships across diverse end markets, and consistently strong cash flows position us well to navigate increased macro uncertainty. We will monitor our markets for impacts from the war in the Middle East, while continuing to execute on our disciplined growth strategy. Based on first-quarter results and our current outlook, we continue to expect 2026 full-year earnings to be $9.50–$10.10 per diluted share, excluding the impact of Tax Adjustments and Other Items.”
RAIL NORTH AMERICA
Rail North America reported segment profit of $103.9 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $88.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher 2026 first-quarter segment profit was driven by higher lease revenue and higher gains on asset dispositions.
As of March 31, 2026, Rail North America’s fleet totaled approximately 206,100 cars, including 9,900 boxcars. The following fleet statistics and performance discussion exclude the boxcar fleet.
Fleet utilization was 98.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared to 99.0% at the end of the prior quarter and 99.2% at the end of the first quarter of 2025. At the time of the Wells Fargo acquisition, GATX Rail North American's fleet utilization was 99.0%, while Wells Fargo Rail's fleet utilization was 96.5%. Therefore, utilization of 98.1% is a byproduct of the fleet combination and consistent with expectations outlined at the beginning of this year.
During the first quarter of 2026, the renewal lease rate change of the GATX Lease Price Index (LPI) was 22.3%, compared to 21.9% in the prior quarter and 24.5% in the first quarter of 2025. The average lease renewal term for all cars included in the LPI during the first quarter of 2026 was 56 months, compared to 58 months in the prior quarter and 61 months in the first quarter of 2025. The 2026 first-quarter renewal success rate was 79.1%, compared to 91.4% in the prior quarter and 85.1% in the first quarter of 2025. Rail North America’s investment volume during the first quarter was approximately $4.5 billion, including the acquisition of Wells Fargo’s rail operating lease portfolio for approximately $4.2 billion.
Additional fleet statistics, including information on the boxcar fleet, and macroeconomic data related to Rail North America’s business are provided in the attached Supplemental Information under Rail North America Statistics.
RAIL INTERNATIONAL
Rail International’s segment profit was $31.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $25.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Higher 2026 first-quarter segment profit was driven by more railcars on lease, higher lease rates, and changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
As of March 31, 2026, GATX Rail Europe’s (GRE) fleet consisted of over 36,600 railcars. Fleet utilization was 94.7%, compared to 94.7% at the end of the prior quarter and 95.1% at the end of the first quarter of 2025.

ENGINE LEASING
Engine Leasing reported segment profit of $35.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to segment profit of $38.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Comparative results were driven primarily by the timing of remarketing income, which can vary materially from quarter to quarter. The Rolls-Royce and Partners Finance affiliates invested approximately $135.0 million in aircraft spare engines during the quarter, and the investment pipeline remains robust.

(1)
GATX's Lease Price Index (LPI) is an internally-generated business indicator that measures renewal activity for our North American railcar fleet, excluding boxcars. The LPI calculation includes all renewal activity based on a 12-month trailing average, and the renewals are weighted by the count of all renewals over the 12-month period. The average renewal lease rate change is reported as the percentage change between the average renewal lease rate and the average expiring lease rate. The average renewal lease term is reported in months and reflects the average renewal lease term in the LPI.
(2)
The renewal success rate represents the percentage of railcars on expiring leases that were renewed with the existing lessee. The renewal success rate is an important metric because railcars returned by our customers may remain idle or incur additional maintenance and freight costs prior to being leased to new customers.
(3)
Excludes boxcar fleet.

Key Takeaways CONMED growth is driven by AirSeal, Buffalo Filter, and BioBrace platforms, gaining adoption.CNMD benefits from supply-chain recovery, boosting orthopedic sales and product availability.CONMED expects margin gains from GI exit, despite tariff and revenue headwinds in 2026. CONMED Corporation (CNMD - Free Report) is well-positioned for growth on the back of rising adoption of its high-margin, differentiated platforms like AirSeal, Buffalo Filter and BioBrace. The company’s long-term prospects seem good as robotic procedure volume rises, coupled with the expanding penetration of Ambulatory Surgery Centers. Moreover, improving supply-chain bottlenecks should drive top- and bottom-line growth.
CONMED is facing tariff headwinds that are unfavorably impacting its earnings per share (EPS) and revenue expansion. Higher operating expense investments remain a concern.
Shares of this Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company have lost 9.9% in the year-to-date period compared with the industry’s 3.3% decline and the S&P 500 Index’s 3.6% fall.
CONMED, a renowned global medical products manufacturer specializing in surgical instruments and devices, has a market capitalization of $1.06 billion. The company projects 5.2% earnings growth over the next five years.
The company’s earnings surpassed estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 7.56%.

Factors Favoring CNMD StockStrong Growth Drivers in High-Margin Segment: CONMED delivered a strong fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 performance, led by robust orthopedic growth, solid execution and continued expansion of its higher-margin platforms. Looking ahead to fiscal 2026, management plans to stay focused on three key growth drivers, AirSeal insufflation systems, Buffalo Filter and BioBrace, which offer favorable procedural growth and margin profiles. AirSeal remains significantly underpenetrated in traditional laparoscopy, currently used in just 6–7% of the more than 3 million annual U.S. procedures, leaving ample room for long-term expansion as adoption improves.
Buffalo Filter continues to benefit from a growing global smoke evacuation market exceeding $1 billion, supported by increasing regulatory mandates such as smoke-free operating room laws across multiple U.S. states, as well as adoption in Nordic countries and Canada. Meanwhile, BioBrace is gaining traction across more than 70 surgical applications, with new product innovations and ongoing clinical validation strengthening its adoption. Collectively, these platforms underscore CONMED’s strategy to prioritize R&D, commercial execution and capital allocation toward high-growth, high-margin opportunities.
Supply-Chain Normalization Boosting Orthopedics Recovery: Resolving the sports medicine supply-chain constraints remains a central operational priority entering fiscal 2026. During fiscal 2025, the company invested in additional planning capabilities, infrastructure, external operational expertise and leadership resources, including back-order levels and the number of affected SKUs declining to a three-year low by year-end.
This improvement enabled the orthopedics segment to return to stronger growth, with fourth-quarter orthopedic sales rising 12.1% in constant currency, reflecting both improving product availability and continued demand for key offerings such as BioBrace and other soft-tissue repair solutions.
Management’s near-term objective is to stabilize and scale supply processes to ensure consistent product availability, while the long-term objective is to build a more agile, data-driven, high-performance supply chain to support sustained innovation and above-market growth in the orthopedic portfolio over time.
Margin Improvement Initiatives and Capital Returns: Several structural actions underway are expected to strengthen profitability and shareholder returns beginning in fiscal 2026 and continuing thereafter. The strategic exit from the gastroenterology product lines is intended to concentrate resources on higher-growth, higher-margin businesses. It is expected to improve the company’s consolidated long-term gross margin profile by 80 basis points (bps) once the transition is completed.
For fiscal 2026, CONMED guided to an additional 50 to 100 bps of gross-margin expansion, driven by favorable product mix and cost improvements. The company suspended its dividend and authorized a $150 million share repurchase program, with management indicating that redeploying the prior dividend amount toward buybacks is expected to contribute 7 cents of EPS accretion in fiscal 2026, supporting ongoing capital-return priorities while maintaining flexibility to invest in innovation and growth initiatives.
Downsides of CNMD StockRevenue & EPS Headwinds From GI Exit and Tariffs: While CNMD is positioning itself for stronger long-term growth and profitability, near-term challenges tied to strategic portfolio changes and external cost pressures remain. Management expects fiscal 2026 revenue growth to be moderate, with constant-currency organic growth of 4.5% to 6%, impacted by the shift away from lower-priority product lines. U.S. general surgery performance has also been affected by portfolio rationalization, including the exit of select smaller products, reduced focus on OEM smoke-evacuation offerings and the broader exit from the gastroenterology business.
Adjusted EPS is projected to be in the range of $4.30 to $4.45, down from $4.59 in fiscal 2025, reflecting a 45–50 cent hit from the GI exit and an additional 30–35 cent drag from tariff-related costs. Despite these pressures, management views the GI exit as a strategic move to enhance long-term margins and prioritize higher-growth areas.
Rising Operating Expense Investments: Operating expenses are anticipated to increase in fiscal 2026 as the company ramps up investments to drive its core growth platforms and strengthen its innovation pipeline. Adjusted SG&A expenses are expected to reach 38% to 38.5% of sales, influenced by lower revenues following the exit of the GI portfolio and higher commercial spending to support the expansion of key surgical and orthopedic businesses. Meanwhile, R&D spending is projected to rise to 4.5% to 5% of sales, marking an increase from previous years as CNMD allocates more resources toward product development, clinical research and technological advancements in areas such as robotic and laparoscopic surgery, smoke evacuation and soft-tissue repair.
Estimate TrendCONMED is witnessing a stable estimate revision trend for fiscal 2026. In the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has remained stable at $4.36 per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues and EPS is pegged at $310.7 million and 82 cents, respectively, suggesting 3.3% and 13.7% declines from the year-ago reported numbers.

Most notable signal: No insider transactions in the last 3 months. Is CNMD Overvalued or Undervalued? Conmed Corp's current market price of $39.73 is significantly below the GF Value™ estimate of $78.09, suggesting that the stock is undervalued by approximately 49.1%. This substantial margin of safety presents an opportunity for potential investors if the company can execute its business strategy effectively and improve its financial performance. The GF Valuation label indicates that CNMD is significantly undervalued, which may attract attention from value-focused investors looking for opportunities in the medical devices sector.
However, while the undervaluation presents an opportunity, it is important to note the inherent risks involved, including the company's financial strength, as indicated by a score of 5/10. GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates.
How Does CNMD's Valuation Compare to Its History? Metric Current Historical P/E (TTM) 26.3x 29.9x Forward P/E 9.1x N/A Currently, Conmed Corp's P/E (TTM) of 26.3x is below its 5-year median of 29.9x, indicating that the stock is trading at a lower valuation compared to its historical norm.

This P/E analysis aligns with the GF Value™ verdict, reinforcing the perception of CNMD as an undervalued investment opportunity.
What Does CNMD's GF Score™ Tell Us? Metric Rating GF Score™ 80/100 Financial Strength 5/10 Profitability 7/10 Growth 8/10 Valuation 4/10 Momentum 4/10 The GF Score™ of 80/100 highlights that Conmed Corp has strong fundamentals, particularly in growth (8/10) and profitability (7/10). However, the valuation (4/10) and momentum (4/10) scores indicate potential weaknesses in its current market performance and valuation metrics. This mixed score suggests that while CNMD has solid growth prospects, there are areas requiring improvement, particularly concerning its valuation relative to peers.
What Are Insiders Doing with CNMD Stock? There have been no insider transactions in the last three months for Conmed Corp. This lack of insider trading activity may suggest that company executives are currently not making any significant moves regarding their ownership in CNMD, which could be interpreted as a neutral signal regarding their confidence in the company's near-term performance.
What This Means for Investors Based on the GF Value™ assessment, Conmed Corp CNMD is currently undervalued. The significant gap between the current price and the estimated intrinsic value presents a potential opportunity for investors who are willing to evaluate the company's future performance and risks.

LARGO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CONMED Corporation (NYSE: CNMD) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights
Sales of $317.0 million decreased 1.3% year-over-year as reported and 2.9% in constant currency. Net sales growth was impacted by a $15.5 million decrease in sales from the exit of certain GI products. Domestic revenue decreased 5.8% year-over-year. Domestic sales growth was impacted by a $15.2 million decrease in sales from the exit of certain GI products. International revenue increased 4.7% year-over-year as reported and 1.0% in constant currency. International sales growth was impacted by a $0.3 million decrease in sales from the exit of certain GI products. Diluted net earnings per share (GAAP) were $0.45, compared to diluted net earnings per share (GAAP) of $0.19 in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted diluted net earnings per share(1) were $0.89, compared to adjusted diluted net earnings per share of $0.95 in the first quarter of 2025. “Our 2025 momentum continued in the first quarter as we delivered revenue and adjusted earnings ahead of our expectations,” said Patrick J. Beyer, CONMED’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to concentrate our resources and investment on our higher-growth, higher-margin areas: minimally invasive surgery, smoke evacuation, and orthopedic soft tissue repair.”
2026 Outlook
Based on the Company’s first quarter performance, management is raising its outlook for full-year 2026 organic revenue growth on a constant currency basis. The Company now expects year-over-year organic constant currency revenue growth, which excludes gastroenterology product sales, of approximately 5.0% to 6.5% compared to the prior guidance range of 4.5% to 6.0%. Full-year 2026 reported revenue is now expected to be in the range of $1.350 billion to $1.375 billion, compared to prior guidance of $1.345 billion to $1.375 billion. The updated revenue outlook reflects an estimated 40 to 50 basis points of favorable foreign exchange impact, compared to the prior assumption of 0 to 50 basis points of favorable impact. This updated guidance also reflects an estimated $14.5 million to $17.5 million in revenue from gastroenterology products, reduced from the prior guidance of $21.0 million to $25.0 million due to the divestiture of the remaining gastroenterology portfolio.
The Company continues to expect full-year adjusted diluted net earnings per share(2) in the range of $4.30 to $4.45. The reaffirmed outlook reflects stronger underlying operating performance, largely offset by higher-than-previously anticipated interest expense due to the planned refinancing of the Company's debt during 2026.
Supplemental Financial Disclosures
(1) A reconciliation of reported diluted net earnings per share to adjusted diluted net earnings per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, appears below.
(2) Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted diluted net earnings per share to the comparable GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort, as discussed below.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and associated conference call may contain forward-looking statements based on certain assumptions and contingencies that involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results, performance, or trends to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements herein or in previous disclosures. For example, in addition to general industry and economic conditions, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to the risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the full year ended December 31, 2025 and other risks and uncertainties, which may be detailed from time to time in reports filed by CONMED with the SEC. Any and all forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and relate to the Company’s performance on a going-forward basis. The Company believes that all forward-looking statements made by it have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections as expressed in the forward-looking statements will actually occur or prove to be correct.
Supplemental Information - Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company supplements the reporting of its financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including percentage sales growth in constant currency; adjusted gross profit; cost of sales excluding specified items; adjusted selling and administrative expenses; adjusted research and development expense; adjusted operating income; adjusted interest expense; adjusted income tax expense; adjusted effective income tax rate; adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net earnings per share (EPS). The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and shareholders in understanding its financial results and assessing its prospects for future performance. Management believes percentage sales growth in constant currency and the other adjusted measures described above are important indicators of its operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, its core operating results and provide a baseline for analyzing trends in the Company’s underlying business. Further, the presentation of EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement that management considers useful for measuring aspects of the Company’s cash flow. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for reviewing the operating results and analyzing potential future business trends in connection with its budget process and bases certain management incentive compensation on these non-GAAP financial measures.
Net sales on a constant currency basis is a non-GAAP measure. The Company analyzes net sales on a constant currency basis to better measure the comparability of results between periods. To measure percentage sales growth in constant currency, the Company removes the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates that affect the comparability and trend of net sales. To measure earnings performance on a consistent and comparable basis, the Company excludes certain items that affect the comparability of operating results and the trend of earnings. These adjustments are irregular in timing, may not be indicative of past and future performance and are therefore excluded to allow investors to better understand underlying operating trends.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for reported sales growth, gross profit, cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, research and development expense, operating income, interest expense, income tax expense, effective income tax rate, net income and diluted net earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures above, provide a more complete understanding of the business. The Company strongly encourages investors and shareholders to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of our expected diluted net earnings per share to expected adjusted diluted net earnings per share as we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort the impact and timing of acquisition, integration and other charges. The financial impact of these items is uncertain and is dependent on various factors, including timing, and could be material to our consolidated condensed statements of income.
Conmed (CNMD - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.89 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.82 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.95 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +8.98%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this medical technology company would post earnings of $1.32 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.43, delivering a surprise of +8.33%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
Conmed, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Dental Supplies industry, posted revenues of $317.05 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.04%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $321.26 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates four times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Conmed shares have lost about 9.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 4.3%.
What's Next for Conmed?While Conmed has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Conmed was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1.09 on $345.87 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $4.36 on $1.36 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Medical - Dental Supplies is currently in the top 23% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Lifevantage (LFVN - Free Report) , another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 6.
This dietary supplements and skin care products company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.16 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -38.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Lifevantage's revenues are expected to be $47.82 million, down 18.2% from the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter ended March 2026, Conmed (CNMD - Free Report) reported revenue of $317.05 million, down 1.3% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.89, compared to $0.95 in the year-ago quarter.

Our Take on CNMDCONMED exited the first quarter of 2026 with better-than-expected results. CONMED’s results highlight a strategic reset that should underpin performance through the remainder of 2026. The divestiture of its gastroenterology business sharpens focus on higher-growth, higher-margin segments, namely AirSeal, Buffalo Filter and BioBrace. These platforms offer durable tailwinds: AirSeal benefits from rising robotic and laparoscopic procedure volumes and a large installed base, while Buffalo Filter is supported by increasing smoke-evacuation legislation and international adoption. BioBrace continues to gain traction as a differentiated orthopedic solution, with expanding clinical validation and surgeon adoption driving sustained growth.
Operationally, improving supply chain reliability is enabling the orthopedic segment to return to consistent mid-single-digit growth, with further acceleration expected as capacity expands. Additionally, raised organic growth guidance (5–6.5%) reflects improving business momentum and stronger execution.
However, challenges remain. The exit of GI creates a near-term revenue and earnings headwind, while OEM smoke products continue to weigh on general surgery performance. Inflationary pressures on input costs and higher interest expense from debt refinancing could also constrain margins. Despite these factors, CONMED’s focused portfolio and strengthening execution position it for steady growth in 2026.
