$FFIV Does F5's
$18.00–
$18.30 fiscal 2027 EPS guide, only 3% to 5% above fiscal 2026's
$17.49, mean margins keep shrinking?
🏢 F5, the Seattle maker of app delivery and security products, worth about
$26.1B at
$460.86 a share at 16:18 ET on October 27, 2026, guided fiscal 2027 to 8% to 9% revenue growth and
$18.00 to
$18.30 non-GAAP EPS
⚠️ That EPS range sits only about 2.9% to 4.6% above fiscal 2026's
$17.49, so per-share profit is guided to grow at roughly half the pace of revenue
💰 On the other side, the board added
$1.5B to the buyback on top of
$322M left, and the
$959M of operating cash F5 generated in fiscal 2026 gives it room to shrink the share count the EPS guide rests on
