Forgent Power Solutions, Inc. (NYSE:FPS) stock fell more than 7% in Thursday’s premarket trading, giving back part of Wednesday’s 14.39% surge following CoreWeave’s strong earnings release.
The decline came despite Forgent reporting better-than-expected fiscal first-quarter 2027 results Thursday and raising its full-year forecast.
Forgent reported adjusted earnings of 24 cents per share, beating analysts’ estimate of 20 cents.
Revenue jumped 69% year over year to a record $478.57 million, topping expectations of $462.36 million.
Higher production volumes and better cost absorption helped the company exceed the high end of its revenue and adjusted EBITDA forecasts.
Adjusted EBITDA rose 61% to $105 million from $65 million a year earlier. However, the adjusted EBITDA margin narrowed to 21.9% from 23.0%.
Operating cash flow climbed $130 million year over year to $136 million, supported by higher earnings and favorable timing of customer deposits and milestone payments.
Capital expenditures totaled $32 million. Separately, Forgent continued investing in inventory to support higher production volumes.
