    Agilent Q1 revenue growth misses internal expectations on weather, academia softness

    1 outlet · first: Motley Fool Market trends

    Machine summary Agilent reported core revenue growth of 4.4% for its first quarter of 2026, with management attributing a miss in its Life Sciences and Diagnostics Group segment to weather disruption and persistent softness in academia and government markets, according to an earnings call transcript. The company reported a $10 million adverse revenue impact from a U.S. winter storm, with the majority recovered early in the following quarter.

    1. According to the transcript, core revenue rose 4.4% in the quarter, or $1.8 billion; reported growth reached 7%, while currency provided a 2.6% tailwind.
    2. At 53.7%, gross margin fell 100 basis points from a year earlier, mainly because of tariff headwinds, management commentary indicated.
    3. Operating margin reached 24.6%, in line with internal expectations, and decreased 50 basis points from the prior year, chiefly because tariff expenses rose and performance-based pay became normalized.
    4. On a non-GAAP basis, earnings per share totaled $1.36, up 4% from a year earlier; management stated that, after adjusting for the storm, all metrics would have exceeded guidance's midpoint.
    5. The academia and government end market declined 8%, according to the transcript.
