A share price tends to move through four phases: moving sideways (stage 1), rising (stage 2), stalling near a high (stage 3) and falling (stage 4). Today Acuity Inc. is in stage 3. The phase helps read everything below.

In the last 52 weeks it traded between $261 and $373, and at that close it sat 68% of the way up from that low.

Over the last 10 years the share price moved +28% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 11 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week.

Acuity Inc. paid $0.77 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.20 for Aug 2026. At today's price of $337.44 that is a yield of 0.23%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

A dividend is cash paid out for each share. The 12-month total is the four most recent quarters added together.

Acuity is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list.

Acuity Inc. earned $173 M of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, +51.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 4th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY26 profit was $531 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 11.6% a year on average. That is 13.9% of the quarter's revenue.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

The same quarter a year earlier earned $114 M.

For the full year, FY26 profit was $531 M (+34.0% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed +2.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.6 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +33.2% and revenue +7.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit.

Acuity Inc. reported $1.2 B of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, +2.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 9th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown 6.0% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $4.6 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

The last four reported quarters add to $4.6 B.

FY26 revenue was $4.6 B, +6.8% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +7.4% on average, against 6.0% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.8%, against +9.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over); profit over the last 12 months grew +34.0%, against +12.1% a year (accelerating).

Acuity Inc.'s operating margin was 16.1% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 3.6 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between 12.4% and 14.8%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.6 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.3 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

As noted under valuation: when margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so a low multiple can mislead.

Over the last 3 years, 152% of Acuity Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $826 M of operating cash against $531 M of profit. After $77.7 M of spending on assets, $748 M was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

Acuity Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $210 M on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 1.5% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $210 M over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

Acuity Inc.'s P/E is 19.8×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 50% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 19.8×, over 4.4 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.

Keep one thing in mind: margins are the best this company has ever reported. A multiple that looks low against its own past can mislead when profit is at a record. If margins fall back, today's multiple is higher than it looks.
