What Henry Schein Inc. reported on August 4, 2026

The quarter ending June 27, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“We delivered strong sales performance and margin improvement in the second quarter, driven by sustained momentum across our businesses and solid operational execution by the team. Internal local currency sales growth accelerated compared to the first quarter, which, combined with strong gross margins and the early benefits from our value creation initiatives, drove strong earnings growth,”
