Steris aims to grow revenue by 7-8% in fiscal 2027. Free cash flow target is $850 million for 2027. The company has a moderate valuation with a PE of 21.17, cheaper than peers. Recent revenue growth from $1.39B to $1.59B in Q4 2026 shows positive momentum.
Steris missed Q4 earnings and cut guidance, raising concerns about sustaining revenue growth. EPS miss and guidance cut indicate possible margin pressure. CEO and CFO transitions may add uncertainty.
The price is about 5% above our fair value near $205, reflecting analyst expectations of about 8% revenue growth. Our view aligns with this but notes risks from recent earnings misses and guidance cuts.
