— 1 · The Locked Call

Medtronic's FY2027 adjusted EPS guidance floor stays ≥$5.90 — P = 0.88.

We lock a binary: Medtronic's fiscal-2027 adjusted EPS guidance floor is at or above $5.90 as stated at its first-quarter FY2027 results. Confidence 88%.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

The guidance was set conservatively below consensus only one quarter earlier.

Medtronic set this range in June at a $5.95 midpoint that deliberately sat below the $6.06 analyst consensus, after delivering its strongest annual revenue growth in a decade. Guidance pitched below the Street at the start of a year is rarely cut one quarter in. Confidence 88%, not higher, because medical-device revenue carries real currency translation exposure and a single reimbursement or regulatory setback can force a revision. Scored on the GUIDANCE RANGE stated in the Q1 release, not on reported quarterly EPS.

Locked on 2026-08-13 — scored against Medtronic's stated FY2027 guidance at Q1.

RAOSCAFF locks P-167 on 2026-08-13, before the Q1 FY2027 release. Scored against the low end of Medtronic's fiscal-2027 adjusted EPS guidance as stated at its first-quarter results.
