$Aramark(ARMK-W)$ reported higher fourth-quarter sales and said it was onboarding an "unprecedented level of new business."

The company posted net income of $87.2 million, down from $122.3 million the year before. On a per-share basis, earnings were 33 cents a share, down from 46 cents a share the year prior.

Adjusted earnings were 57 cents a share. Analysts expected 64 cents, according to FactSet.

The company said its profit was dragged down by additional incentive-based compensation tied to its new contracts.

Sales rose 14% to $5.05 billion. Wall Street expected $5.16 billion.

The company guided for fiscal 2026 revenue of $19.55 billion to $19.95 billion and adjusted earnings of $2.18 to $2.28 a share. Analysts see 2026 adjusted earnings of $2.27 a share and revenue of $19.69 billion.

In October, the company was picked for a systemwide contract by Penn Medicine, which analysts said would support significant revenue growth beginning in fiscal 2026.

Aramark also increased its quarterly dividend by 14% to 12 cents a share.
