Launch Catch-Up — Results Released October 21, 2026

Thermo Fisher Scientific reported third-quarter revenue of $12.14 billion, up 9% from $11.12 billion a year earlier, in its October 21 financial release.

Organic revenue growth was 6%, excluding the effects of acquisitions, divestitures and currency changes. Acquisitions and divestitures accounted for three percentage points of reported growth, according to the company’s reconciliation.

Reported diluted earnings rose 9% to $4.64 per share. Operating income increased 17% to $2.26 billion, with the operating margin expanding to 18.6% from 17.4%.

Adjusted earnings, which remove specified items, grew 15% to $6.68 per share. The adjusted operating margin reached 24.5%, compared with 23.3% a year earlier. These supplemental figures differ from results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles.

The company also reported completing the previously announced sale of its microbiology business during the quarter. The results cover the period ended September 26; the October release date is distinct from that financial reporting period.
