Base and Bull scenarios

Base60%

Price target

$209.55

-2.3% from spot

The modal base case, carrying probability 60.0% and target $209.55 yielding an implied return of -2.3%, reflects steady execution across acute care hospital reprocessing and contract sterilization. STERIS delivers mid-to-high single-digit revenue growth while operating margins expand steadily toward target levels, balancing elevated near-term facility capex against durable cash generation.

Consolidated revenue growth tracking management guidance ranges across the explicit forecast horizon
Operating margins expanding steadily supported by operating cost discipline and favorable procedural mix
AST customer destocking subsiding in the second half of the fiscal year in line with management expectations
Capital expenditures normalizing toward maintenance requirements following greenfield facility completion

Bull20%

Price target

$249.66

+16.4% from spot

Under the bull case, with probability 20.0% and target $249.66 yielding an implied return of 16.4%, customer inventory destocking in contract sterilization resolves ahead of schedule while automated endoscope reprocessor share gains accelerate. Operating margins expand beyond historical peaks as the automated North Carolina facility ramps, driving double-digit operational earnings growth.

Accelerated recovery in AST organic volume throughput following customer destocking resolution
Rapid market share gains in automated endoscope reprocessors driving high-margin chemistry pull-through
Early operational efficiencies and labor savings from the automated greenfield facility consolidation
Complete tariff cost mitigation through commercial price increases and successful refund claims
