Henry Schein (HSIC) Raises FY2026 Guidance After Q3 Sales Reach $3.5B

What happened

Henry Schein reported third-quarter sales of $3.5B, up 4.0% overall and 3.1% internally in local currencies. GAAP earnings per share grew 26.2% and non-GAAP earnings per share grew 13.0% year over year, and the company raised its FY2026 guidance.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Raising full-year guidance tells investors management expects stronger future results than previously planned. Because the release gives no revised figures, investors cannot yet measure how much expectations changed, which limits how precisely they can judge whether the stock's price already reflects the better outlook.

Analyst inference

Sales growth of 3.1% excluding acquisitions and currency effects means less of the gain came from buying other businesses or exchange-rate swings. Share repurchases of 1.4 million shares for $125M reduced shares outstanding, which lifts earnings per share, with about $330M still authorized for buybacks.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. The release provides no revised FY2026 guidance figures, so the specific revenue and earnings targets behind the raised outlook remain undisclosed. Confirmed
2. Future quarterly reports should show whether internal sales growth, which excludes acquisitions and currency effects, keeps pace with or falls below the reported 4.0% total growth. Proposed
3. Watch whether non-GAAP earnings per share growth stays below GAAP growth, since excluding tariff refunds and prior-year remeasurement gains, adjusted growth was 19.1%. Analyst inference
