Revenue pressure offsets EPS beat

The quarterly picture is mixed. Zacks reported that adjusted EPS of USD 2.22 exceeded its consensus estimate of USD 2.20, a USD 0.02 difference, while revenue of USD 1.28 billion missed consensus of USD 1.32 billion and declined 5.1 percent year over year.

Zacks also reported that Maximus reduced fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to USD 7.90-8.20 from USD 8.25-8.55. Revenue guidance remained USD 5.2-5.35 billion, with management pointing to a temporary contractual modification with a major federal customer as the reason for the lower earnings outlook.
