TRNS--
Transcat (NASDAQ: TRNS), a provider of calibration services and test equipment distribution for regulated industries, has received a positive outlook from analysts following its Q1 FY2026 financial results. The company reported a 14.6% year-over-year increase in GAAP revenue to $76.4 million, despite missing analyst expectations by 0.4%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) reached $0.59, exceeding estimates by 10.3% [1].
Analyst Scott Buck from H.C. Wainwright, who covers the Technology sector with a 30.10% success rate on recommended stocks, has given Transcat a Buy rating. Buck expects margin growth as the company expands its automation capabilities and benefits from the recent acquisition of Essco Calibration. Lake Street Capital Management also reiterated a Buy rating with a $105.00 price target [1].
Transcat's Distribution segment delivered a record gross margin of 35.2% and 19% revenue growth, while the Service segment faced margin pressure. The company's proprietary software offerings, CalTrak and C3, continue to be emphasized as key differentiators in serving FDA-regulated clients. Management has reiterated the importance of ongoing investment in innovation and automation to enhance long-term margins [1].
Looking ahead, management projects continued service revenue gains in FY2026, supported by recent acquisitions and an expanding geographic footprint in the Midwest and New England. The new, larger credit facility with expanded borrowing capacity offers flexibility for further deals and organic expansion, but also brings higher leverage, with the ratio at 0.82x [1].
