Veralto opened 2026 with broad-based momentum, posting approximately 7% total sales growth and 13% adjusted EPS growth in the first quarter, a result strong enough to prompt a raise in full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $4.20, $4.28, up from prior levels. The beat was driven by execution across both segments, disciplined pricing, and the essential, OpEx-embedded nature of Veralto's products in customer workflows, which insulates demand from the kind of CapEx-cycle volatility affecting some peers.
