EnerSys Q1 sales rise 5% to $893 million, but GAAP diluted EPS falls 15% to $1.46
EnerSys reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 net sales of $893.0 million, up 4.7%, and adjusted diluted EPS of $2.08, up 5%, while GAAP diluted EPS fell to $1.46 from $1.71. The Board also approved a new $1 billion share repurchase authorization over five years and raised the quarterly dividend 9% to $0.2625 per share, which matters to shareholders because it adds capacity for buybacks and higher cash payouts. The company paused full-year quantitative guidance.
