Analyst projections of the future price of Acuity Brands stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Acuity Intelligent Spaces is becoming a meaningful growth engine: fiscal 2026 sales rose 44.8%, while adjusted operating profit rose 55.2%; in Q4, sales grew 16.6% and its adjusted operating margin reached 24.9%. (GlobeNewswire)
Management expects fiscal 2027 sales of $4.7bn–$4.9bn and adjusted EPS of $20.50–$22, with low-to-mid-teens growth from Intelligent Spaces. This points to further earnings growth if the newer building-controls and audio-visual businesses deliver as planned. (GlobeNewswire)
Cash generation supports shareholder returns and financial flexibility: Acuity generated $825.6m of operating cash in fiscal 2026, repaid $200m of term debt, raised its dividend by 18% and bought back $287.2m of shares. (GlobeNewswire)
The large lighting segment remains under pressure: fiscal 2026 ABL sales fell 1.0%, and adjusted operating profit declined 2.5%; in Q4, adjusted operating profit fell 7.1% and its margin narrowed by 130 basis points. (GlobeNewswire)
Rising memory costs are expected to weigh on Intelligent Spaces margins in fiscal 2027, with management indicating a gross-margin impact of roughly 200 basis points. That could erode some of the benefit from AIS’s rapid growth. (The Motley Fool)
The near-term lighting outlook is subdued: management expects the market to be flat to down by low single digits, while an analyst cited project delays, requoting and tougher price competition. Higher rates could prolong customers’ decisions on building projects. (The Motley Fool, StreetInsider)
