Steris Plc. (STE) has recently witnessed a flurry of investment activity with notable names such as the
Czech National Bank, Morgan Stanley, UBS AM, Alliancebernstein, and BNP Paribas increasing stake or maintaining a positive outlook. STE has been
upgraded to a 'strong buy' by some analysts whilst others affirm a 'buy' rating with target prices reaching up to
$295. Following solid Q1 2026 results featuring
9% revenue growth and a 67% jump in
free cash flow, the company has also updated its financial outlook. These successive positive developments pushed STE to a
new 52-week high. Future prospects look favorable, with
increased dividends and plans to
bring pharmaceutical manufacturing back to the U.S. STE's growth is reflected in a
5-year shareholder CAGR of 8.5%. However, caution is advisable as some insiders have recently
sold US$5.1m of their shares. Furthermore,
CFO Michael J. Tokich is set to be succeeded by Karen L. Burton, potentially heralding an era of strategic change for STE.
