While announcing weak profit and higher revenues in its first quarter, healthcare technology<\/span> company Medtronic plc (MDT) on Tuesday raised its fiscal 2024 revenue growth and earnings per share guidance above market.<\/p>\n For the year, the company now expects adjusted earnings per share in the new range of $5.08 to $5.16, a 7 cent increase at the midpoint from the previous outlook of $5.00 to $5.10.<\/p>\n On average, 32 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect earnings of $5.05 per share for the year. Analysts’ estimates typically exclude special items. <\/p>\n The new outlook is inline with the company’s operational earnings per share outperformance in the first quarter.<\/p>\n Further, organic revenue growth is now expected to be 4.5 percent versus the prior range of 4.0 percent to 4.5 percent. The full-year revenue growth on a reported basis would be approximately 2.75 percent.<\/p>\n Karen Parkhill, Medtronic EVP & chief financial officer, said, “Our revenue outperformance and focus on expense management drove operating margin expansion and mid-single digit adjusted earnings growth this quarter. Given our first quarter performance, including a 7 cent operational beat on the bottom line, and improved fundamentals, we’re raising our full year organic revenue growth and EPS guidance.”<\/p>\n In the first quarter, Medtronic’s earnings decreased from last year but beat the Street estimates. The company’s earnings totaled $791 million, or $0.59 per share, compared to $929 million, or $0.70 per share, in last year’s first quarter.<\/p>\n Adjusted earnings were $1.60 billion or $1.20 per share for the period, compared to $1.50 billion or $1.13 per share a year ago.<\/p>\n Analysts expected the company to earn $1.11 per share for the quarter.<\/p>\n The company’s revenue for the quarter rose 4.5 percent to $7.70 billion from $7.37 billion last year.
