Renishaw stock rose 2.7 percent to GBp 5,685 in London trading on September 23, 2026, after the precision technology group reported record FY2026 results. The figures show that semiconductor-related demand is now translating into faster profit growth than sales growth.
Revenue reaches GBP 815.8 million
According to MarketBeat on September 23, 2026, revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, rose 14 percent to GBP 816 million. The more precise figure reported elsewhere was GBP 815.8 million, compared with GBP 713.0 million in fiscal 2025.
Adjusted operating profit grew 36 percent to GBP 152.9 million, while the adjusted operating margin expanded to 18.7 percent from 15.7 percent. That 3.0 percentage point improvement is the central earnings signal because it shows operating leverage alongside the sales increase.
Position Measurement leads growth
Renishaw's Position Measurement division increased revenue 26 percent in fiscal 2026, with optical encoders for semiconductor equipment and magnetic encoders for automation and robotics supporting demand. Its operating margin rose five percentage points to 27.4 percent, according to MarketBeat.
Industrial Metrology, which represents more than half of the business, delivered 4 percent revenue growth. Specialized Technologies revenue increased 43 percent, driven by additive manufacturing demand from aerospace and defense customers, Morningstar reported on September 23, 2026.
Dividend adds a second signal
The board proposed a 5.0 percent increase in the regular dividend to GBp 82.0 per share and a special dividend of GBp 70.0 per share. Adjusted earnings per share rose 30 percent to GBp 179.5, compared with GBp 137.8 in fiscal 2025, according to Investing.com.
The market capitalization was GBP 4.07 billion on September 23, 2026. Renishaw stock traded within a 52-week range of GBp 3,280 to GBp 5,810, placing the current quote 2.2 percent below the reported high.
Renishaw stock stays near its high
