Benzinga Earnings07-27

Lamb Weston Holdings Inc. (NYSE:LW) reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 results that topped Wall Street estimates and issued fiscal 2027 guidance above analyst expectations.

The frozen potato products maker reported adjusted earnings of 92 cents per share, beating the consensus estimate of 63 cents. Revenue rose to $1.77 billion, above the $1.69 billion analyst estimate.

For fiscal 2027, the company expects adjusted earnings of $2.95 to $3.25 per share, compared with the analyst consensus estimate of $3.01. It projects revenue of $6.61 billion to $6.68 billion, above the consensus estimate of $6.39 billion.
