Summary
CooperCompanies reported fiscal third quarter 2026 revenue of $1.066 billion, up 1% year over year, GAAP diluted EPS of $2.24 and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $1.15, and free cash flow of $273.0 million, up 66%. The company said it completed its strategic review, expanded its share repurchase authorization from $2 billion to $3 billion, and updated its fiscal 2026 guidance, with CEO Al White attributing softer CooperVision results to a proactive reduction in U.S. channel inventory that will also affect the fourth quarter.
