What stood out

  • Revenue and EPS exceeded consensus

    Revenue was $9.756 billion, exceeding the $9.530 billion consensus estimate by approximately $226 million, while reported EPS was $1.45 versus the $1.39 estimate.

  • Cardiovascular led portfolio growth

    Cardiovascular was the leading disclosed growth contributor, with revenue growth of 19.5% year over year.

  • Free cash flow improved materially

    Free cash flow increased to $1.290 billion from $584 million in the comparable prior period, an improvement of $706 million.

  • FY27 outlook was raised

    FY27 organic revenue growth guidance was raised to 7.25%-7.75% from 6.75%-7.25%, while non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance increased to $5.94-$6.00 from $5.90-$6.00.

  • Share repurchases continued

    The company repurchased 2,765,509 shares during the quarter at an average price of $81.56, leaving $958,184,382 available under the repurchase authorization.

  • Disclosure controls remained effective

    Management reported that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 31, 2026, and that there were no changes in internal control that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control.

What to watch

  • Material foreign-exchange exposure

    Currency derivative notional exposure was $18.8 billion at July 31, 2026, down from $20.3 billion at April 24, 2026. A uniform 10% strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar would change the fair value of these contracts by approximately $1.5 billion.

  • Interest-rate sensitivity increased

    A hypothetical 50-basis-point change in interest rates would change the fair value of interest-rate-sensitive instruments by approximately $92 million at July 31, 2026, compared with $91 million at April 24, 2026.

  • Russia sanctions and compliance risk

    Medtronic Russia filed three notifications with Russia's Federal Security Service during the quarter to comply with local requirements for importing devices with encryption functionality. The activity generated no direct revenue or profit but could create sanctions and geopolitical compliance exposure.

Management's outlook

Management raised FY27 organic revenue growth guidance to 7.25%-7.75% from 6.75%-7.25% and FY27 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance to $5.94-$6.00 from $5.90-$6.00. Foreign exchange is expected to have a neutral to 1% accretive impact; no absolute revenue guidance was provided.
