Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Fiscal 2026 cash from operations hit $72.3 million, funding buybacks and Helvoet.
- August 12, 2026 guidance targets $1.535 billion to $1.560 billion sales.
- Medical sales should exceed one-third of fiscal 2027 revenue, driven by new programs.
What critics are saying
- Automotive sales fell 3% in fiscal 2026, and industrial sales fell 5%.
- Helvoet cost $103 million, and integration failures will hit fiscal 2027 margins.
- If medical programs slip past 2028, Jasper depends on shrinking automotive work.
What makes Kimball Electronics unique
- Helvoet adds European medical CDMO plastics, strengthening Kimball’s higher-margin device assembly moat.
- Indianapolis opened February 6, 2026, giving Kimball a flagship medical manufacturing hub.
- Medical reached 30% of sales in Q3 FY2026, balancing automotive and industrial exposure.
