The Cooper Companies, Inc. (COO) Earnings Call Transcripts
The Cooper Companies, Inc.'s Latest Earnings Call - Q2 FY2026
In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, The Cooper Companies reported record revenue of $1.08 billion, an 8% increase year-over-year, and non-GAAP earnings per share of $1.21, reflecting a 26% growth. The results were driven by solid performance in both CooperVision and CooperSurgical, with the latter's fertility business growing 10% organically. However, management lowered full-year revenue guidance due to anticipated weakness in the Asia Pacific region, now expecting organic growth of 3.5% to 4.5% for CooperVision, down from previous estimates, which could impact investor sentiment moving forward.

I mean, it might eve...
Sure. Yes. We received -- I don't know how to say other than significant interest in the entire business and in pieces of the business, both.
