研究档案
结论摘要
Donaldson四季度销售和调整后EPS均略高于预期,管理层指引2027财年销售、经营利润率和EPS创高,但EPS区间中点约4.30美元,低于媒体引用的一致预期4.36至4.41美元;叠加事件发布后盘前已有明显上行,短线继续追多的edge不足。
消息传播链
- 公司一手发布FY2026 Q4业绩和FY2027指引,属于盘前财报披露。
- 报道Q4 EPS高于预期0.02美元,但FY2027 EPS指引低于一致预期。
- 报道FactSet预期下的收入和EPS小幅beat,并称盘前上涨4.1%。市场反应:DCI.US盘前上涨约4.1%
关键理由
- Q4调整后EPS 1.15美元略高于FactSet预期1.13美元,收入10.6亿美元高于约10.4亿美元预期。
- 2027财年销售增长5.5%至9.5%,反映Facet并表、定价、外汇和工业/生命科学需求延续。
- 但EPS指引4.22至4.38美元的中点低于市场预期,利润端预期差不够强。
主要风险
- 若正式开盘后市场更重视销售和利润率创新高,DCI.US可能继续上行,放弃追多会错过动量。
- Facet并购带来2027财年约0.12美元EPS摊薄和更高利息费用,可能压制估值重估。
反向证据

FY2027 EPS指引4.22至4.38美元低于部分一致预期,削弱追多逻辑。

先例如何影响了这次决策
对本次决策的影响:先例强化了不追逐标题式记录业绩的判断,本次因EPS指引弱于预期且盘前已反应而回避。
方向:可比样本提示Donaldson财报后方向主要由预期差和指引决定,本次正负混合。
涨幅量级:没有完成event_study量化,不能用先例校准tp/sl。
形态:样本不足以证明稳定见光死或稳定延续上涨。

Expect full year fiscal 2027 sales growth of between 5.5% and 9.5% and EPS between $4.22 to $4.38, inclusive of $0.12 of dilution from Facet acquisition
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (Donaldson or the Company), a global leader in technology-led filtration products and solutions, today reported fiscal 2026 GAAP net earnings of $129.3 million in the fourth quarter and $453.8 million for the full year, compared with $114.3 million and $367.0 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2026 GAAP EPS were $1.10 in the fourth quarter and $3.85 for the full year, compared with $0.97 and $3.05, respectively, in the prior year. Fourth quarter and full-year 2026 adjusted EPS were $1.15 and $3.98, respectively, compared to $1.03 and $3.68, respectively, in fiscal 2025.
“Donaldson’s fourth quarter sales and earnings reached an all-time high, driven by strong organic volume growth, augmented by the acquisition of Facet Filtration, and supported by robust execution across all three of our segments,” said Rich Lewis, president and chief executive officer. “Our global teams successfully delivered another significant step-up in profitability through ongoing operational improvements in Industrial Solutions and continued momentum in Mobile Solutions and Life Sciences.
“We enter fiscal 2027 focused on capitalizing on increasing demand in several of our key, higher-margin businesses, further improving our operating efficiency and thoughtfully investing for future profitable growth, all aimed at serving our customers through our differentiated technology-led solutions. We are forecasting another record year, including record sales, operating margin, and earnings, as we build an even stronger Donaldson for the future and continue our long history of shareholder value creation.”

Mobile Solutions segment (Mobile) sales increased 7.9%, driven by strength in Aftermarket and On-Road. Aftermarket sales grew 9.4% from robust growth in both the OE and independent channels. On-Road sales rose 8.7%, due to increased truck production in the United States and Europe following volume declines in the prior year. Off-Road sales were roughly flat, with sales growth in the construction end market offsetting weaker agriculture sales.
Industrial Solutions segment (Industrial) sales increased 7.7%, with the Facet acquisition within Aerospace and Defense contributing 980 basis points of growth to the Industrial segment. Organic Aerospace and Defense sales declined 2.8% from prior year as a result of ongoing supply chain constraints. Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales declined 2.0% as weaker new equipment sales in dust collection were partially offset by strength in Power Generation new equipment and IFS replacement part sales.
Life Sciences segment sales increased 9.7% year over year as a result of double-digit growth in Disk Drive and solid new equipment and replacement part sales in Food and Beverage.
Gross margin was 36.3%, up 180 basis points from 34.5% in 2025 primarily due to higher volume, pricing and mix, partially offset by increased input costs and a continued headwind from Power Generation production inefficiencies. Fiscal 2025 gross margin was negatively impacted by tariff-related inflation and inventory valuation headwinds. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes restructuring charges, was 36.7% compared with 34.8% in the prior year.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.6% versus 19.1% in the prior year, primarily from the inclusion of Facet-related run-rate expenses and amortization, combined with higher incentive compensation. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales, which excludes restructuring and business development charges, were 19.1% compared with 18.3% in 2025.
Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 16.7% was 120 basis points above prior year as a result of gross margin expansion partially offset by higher operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin was 17.5%, a 110 basis point increase compared with 2025.
Interest expense was $14.7 million versus $7.1 million in 2025 as a result of higher debt levels from the Facet acquisition and higher interest rates. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.5% versus 23.6% a year ago due to higher net discrete tax benefits.
For the full year, Donaldson paid $141.2 million in dividends and repurchased 1.2% of its outstanding shares for $108.5 million.
Fiscal 2027 Outlook
Full-year EPS is forecast to be between $4.22 and $4.38, including approximately $0.12 of dilution from Facet and compared with fiscal 2026 GAAP and adjusted EPS of $3.85 and $3.98, respectively. Sales are projected to increase between 5.5% and 9.5%, including an approximate 2% benefit from Facet sales, pricing of 2%, and a foreign currency translation tailwind of 1%.
Mobile sales are expected to increase 2% to 6% year over year. Off-Road sales are projected to increase mid-single digits and On-Road sales are estimated to increase high-single digits due to favorable end-market conditions, including in construction and transportation. Aftermarket sales are forecast to grow mid-single digits, driven by ongoing market share gains and continued strength in vehicle utilization rates.
Industrial sales are expected to grow mid-teens versus 2026. IFS sales are forecast to increase mid-single digits with strength across all businesses, including dust collection and Power Generation. Aerospace and Defense sales are projected to increase over 50%, driven by incremental Facet sales. Organic Aerospace and Defense sales growth is forecast in the mid-teens from improving supply chain conditions after pressure in 2026.
Life Sciences sales are projected to grow between 7% and 11% compared with prior year from continued strength in Food & Beverage and Disk Drive volume growth.
Operating margin is expected to be between 16.6% and 17.2% versus 15.4%, or 16.0% on an adjusted basis, in 2026, driven by gross margin expansion, partially offset by expense deleveraging, largely as a result of the full-year impact of Facet run-rate expenses as well as higher amortization expense.
Interest expense is projected to be between $55 million and $60 million, compared with $36 million in 2026, driven by higher debt levels from the Facet acquisition, and other income is expected to be between $16 million and $20 million. Donaldson expects a fiscal 2027 effective income tax rate of between 23.5% and 25.5%.
Capital expenditures are forecast to be between $70 million and $90 million and free cash flow conversion is projected to be between 95% and 105%. For the full year, Donaldson expects to repurchase approximately 1% of its shares outstanding.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) (Donaldson or the Company), a global leader in technology-led filtration products and solutions, today reported fiscal 2026 GAAP net earnings of $129.3 million in the fourth quarter and $453.8 million for the full year, compared with $114.3 million and $367.0 million, respectively, in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2026 GAAP EPS were $1.10 in the fourth quarter and $3.85 for the full year, compared with $0.97 and $3.05, respectively, in the prior year. Fourth quarter and full-year 2026 adjusted EPS were $1.15 and $3.98, respectively, compared to $1.03 and $3.68, respectively, in fiscal 2025.
“Donaldson’s fourth quarter sales and earnings reached an all-time high, driven by strong organic volume growth, augmented by the acquisition of Facet Filtration, and supported by robust execution across all three of our segments,” said Rich Lewis, president and chief executive officer. “Our global teams successfully delivered another significant step-up in profitability through ongoing operational improvements in Industrial Solutions and continued momentum in Mobile Solutions and Life Sciences.
“We enter fiscal 2027 focused on capitalizing on increasing demand in several of our key, higher-margin businesses, further improving our operating efficiency and thoughtfully investing for future profitable growth, all aimed at serving our customers through our differentiated technology-led solutions. We are forecasting another record year, including record sales, operating margin, and earnings, as we build an even stronger Donaldson for the future and continue our long history of shareholder value creation.”

Mobile Solutions segment (Mobile) sales increased 7.9%, driven by strength in Aftermarket and On-Road. Aftermarket sales grew 9.4% from robust growth in both the OE and independent channels. On-Road sales rose 8.7%, due to increased truck production in the United States and Europe following volume declines in the prior year. Off-Road sales were roughly flat, with sales growth in the construction end market offsetting weaker agriculture sales.
Industrial Solutions segment (Industrial) sales increased 7.7%, with the Facet acquisition within Aerospace and Defense contributing 980 basis points of growth to the Industrial segment. Organic Aerospace and Defense sales declined 2.8% from prior year as a result of ongoing supply chain constraints. Industrial Filtration Solutions (IFS) sales declined 2.0% as weaker new equipment sales in dust collection were partially offset by strength in Power Generation new equipment and IFS replacement part sales.
Life Sciences segment sales increased 9.7% year over year as a result of double-digit growth in Disk Drive and solid new equipment and replacement part sales in Food and Beverage.
Gross margin was 36.3%, up 180 basis points from 34.5% in 2025 primarily due to higher volume, pricing and mix, partially offset by increased input costs and a continued headwind from Power Generation production inefficiencies. Fiscal 2025 gross margin was negatively impacted by tariff-related inflation and inventory valuation headwinds. Adjusted gross margin, which excludes restructuring charges, was 36.7% compared with 34.8% in the prior year.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales were 19.6% versus 19.1% in the prior year, primarily from the inclusion of Facet-related run-rate expenses and amortization, combined with higher incentive compensation. Adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of sales, which excludes restructuring and business development charges, were 19.1% compared with 18.3% in 2025.
Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) of 16.7% was 120 basis points above prior year as a result of gross margin expansion partially offset by higher operating expenses. Adjusted operating margin was 17.5%, a 110 basis point increase compared with 2025.
Interest expense was $14.7 million versus $7.1 million in 2025 as a result of higher debt levels from the Facet acquisition and higher interest rates. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.5% versus 23.6% a year ago due to higher net discrete tax benefits.
For the full year, Donaldson paid $141.2 million in dividends and repurchased 1.2% of its outstanding shares for $108.5 million.
Fiscal 2027 Outlook
Full-year EPS is forecast to be between $4.22 and $4.38, including approximately $0.12 of dilution from Facet and compared with fiscal 2026 GAAP and adjusted EPS of $3.85 and $3.98, respectively. Sales are projected to increase between 5.5% and 9.5%, including an approximate 2% benefit from Facet sales, pricing of 2%, and a foreign currency translation tailwind of 1%.
Mobile sales are expected to increase 2% to 6% year over year. Off-Road sales are projected to increase mid-single digits and On-Road sales are estimated to increase high-single digits due to favorable end-market conditions, including in construction and transportation. Aftermarket sales are forecast to grow mid-single digits, driven by ongoing market share gains and continued strength in vehicle utilization rates.
Industrial sales are expected to grow mid-teens versus 2026. IFS sales are forecast to increase mid-single digits with strength across all businesses, including dust collection and Power Generation. Aerospace and Defense sales are projected to increase over 50%, driven by incremental Facet sales. Organic Aerospace and Defense sales growth is forecast in the mid-teens from improving supply chain conditions after pressure in 2026.
Life Sciences sales are projected to grow between 7% and 11% compared with prior year from continued strength in Food & Beverage and Disk Drive volume growth.
Operating margin is expected to be between 16.6% and 17.2% versus 15.4%, or 16.0% on an adjusted basis, in 2026, driven by gross margin expansion, partially offset by expense deleveraging, largely as a result of the full-year impact of Facet run-rate expenses as well as higher amortization expense.
Interest expense is projected to be between $55 million and $60 million, compared with $36 million in 2026, driven by higher debt levels from the Facet acquisition, and other income is expected to be between $16 million and $20 million. Donaldson expects a fiscal 2027 effective income tax rate of between 23.5% and 25.5%.
Capital expenditures are forecast to be between $70 million and $90 million and free cash flow conversion is projected to be between 95% and 105%. For the full year, Donaldson expects to repurchase approximately 1% of its shares outstanding.

Note: The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company believes providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding its results of operations. The Company calculates constant currency percentages by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates and compares these adjusted amounts to its prior period reported results. Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
