AZZ Stock Rises 6.7% Premarket After Strong Q1 Earnings, Raises Fiscal 2027 Guidance

AZZ Inc. (NYSE: AZZ) stock rose 6.7% in premarket trading on Thursday after the company reported strong fiscal first-quarter 2027 results and raised its full-year financial guidance. Record quarterly sales, higher adjusted earnings, and an improved outlook reinforced investor confidence despite a challenging industrial market backdrop.

Why Is AZZ Stock Rising Today?

The primary catalyst behind AZZ stock's premarket rally was management's decision to raise fiscal 2027 guidance following a solid start to the year.

The company now expects fiscal 2027 sales of $1.80 billion to $1.85 billion, up from its previous forecast of $1.725 billion to $1.775 billion. AZZ also increased its adjusted EBITDA outlook to $375 million-$415 million from $360 million-$400 million and lifted adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $6.75-$7.15 from $6.50-$7.00.

The higher guidance signals management's confidence in continued demand across its core businesses and stronger profitability through the remainder of the fiscal year.

AZZ Reports Strong Fiscal Q1 2027 Earnings

For the quarter ended May 31, 2026, AZZ reported revenue of $448.5 million, a 6.3% increase from a year earlier. Adjusted diluted earnings per share rose 3.9% year over year to $1.85, while adjusted net income increased 3.6% to $55.8 million.

The company also generated $37.1 million in operating cash flow during the quarter, maintaining a healthy balance sheet with a net leverage ratio of just 1.4x.

CEO Tom Ferguson said the company remains on track to deliver record sales and profitability during fiscal 2027, supported by strong execution, favorable market visibility, and disciplined capital allocation.

Metal Coatings Business Continues to Drive Growth

AZZ's Metal Coatings segment remained the company's strongest performer, with sales increasing 12.3% to $210.3 million. Growth was driven by higher galvanized steel volumes and continued spending across construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects.

Meanwhile, the Precoat Metals segment delivered record first-quarter sales of $238.2 million, up 1.5% year over year. Revenue benefited from pricing actions to offset raw material inflation and continued production ramp-up at the company's Washington, Missouri facility.

What Investors Are Watching Next

Beyond its stronger quarterly performance, AZZ recently increased its quarterly dividend by 20%, highlighting management's confidence in future cash generation.

Investors will now be watching whether demand in construction, infrastructure, and industrial markets remains resilient enough for AZZ to achieve its higher fiscal 2027 targets. With record first-quarter sales, solid cash flow generation, and improved full-year guidance, earnings report provides a positive catalyst for AZZ stock heading into the remainder of the fiscal year.
