Stock market today: Stocks fall as investors rotate out of tech into Jackson Hole
READING, Pa. - EnerSys (NYSE:ENS) reported better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings but issued weaker-than-anticipated guidance for the current quarter, sending mixed signals to investors. ENS shares were down 2% in after-hours trading.
The global leader in stored energy solutions posted adjusted earnings per share of $2.97 for Q4, surpassing analyst estimates of $2.76. Revenue came in at $975 million, slightly below the consensus forecast of $981.17 million but up 7% year-over-year.
"EnerSys ended Fiscal Year 2025 with a strong fourth quarter, demonstrating the earnings power of our balanced business," said David M. Shaffer, EnerSys Chief Executive Officer.
However, the company’s outlook for Q1 fiscal 2026 fell short of expectations. EnerSys forecasts adjusted EPS of $2.03-$2.13, below the $2.40 consensus. Revenue is projected at $830-870 million, also below analysts’ $906.9 million estimate.
The weaker guidance reflects "typical seasonal volume softness in Motive Power and Transportation exacerbated by short-term macro dynamics," according to CFO Andrea Funk. She added that Q1 will likely mark the low point of the fiscal year.
For the full fiscal year 2025, EnerSys reported net sales of $3.62 billion, up 1% from the previous year. Adjusted EPS reached a record $10.15, a 22% increase year-over-year.
The company returned $192 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends during fiscal 2025. EnerSys also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share.
While facing near-term headwinds, management remains optimistic about long-term growth prospects driven by demand for intelligent, resilient power solutions across key markets.
