What is Ferguson (FERG), and what does it report?
Short answer · as of
Ferguson supplies pipes, valves, fittings, water heaters, fixtures, heating and cooling equipment, fire-protection components, water-management systems and industrial maintenance products.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Ferguson supplies pipes, valves, fittings, water heaters, fixtures, heating and cooling equipment, fire-protection components, water-management systems and industrial maintenance products. Customers span residential, commercial, civil, infrastructure and industrial projects, so demand reflects construction, renovation, maintenance and water-system activity rather than manufacturing output alone.
Revenue measures products moving through this distribution network, with consultation, quotation, design, fabrication, pickup, delivery and supply-chain support wrapped around those sales. The disclosed segment figure shows that United States operations dominate the reporting profile despite the company also serving Canada.
What do the latest results show for Ferguson (FERG)?
Short answer · as of
The most recent reported quarter, Q4 FY2026, carried revenue of $8.75B.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Revenue and gross profit reached the strongest levels in the displayed quarterly run, while operating profit, net income and diluted earnings advanced from the preceding period. Reported revenue and earnings also exceeded market estimates in the latest release, extending a run of generally favorable estimate comparisons.
Gross profit rose faster than selling, general and administrative expense, allowing more revenue to reach operating profit. Cash conversion moved the other way: operating cash flow turned negative as capital spending increased, creating a sharp divergence between stronger reported earnings and weaker cash generation.
Where is operating spending going?
Revenue alongside research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses, and the FMP standardized operating result.

What are the financial strengths and risks for Ferguson (FERG)?
Short answer
Cash and short-term investments were $437.00M at the Jun 30, 2026 balance-sheet date. Operating cash flow was −$57.55M for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, meaning operations used cash. These figures do not establish a cash runway.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Ferguson remains profitable, produces attractive returns on equity and assets, and carries a distress screen consistent with financial resilience. Current assets cover current liabilities, but liquid assets excluding inventory do not fully cover near-term obligations, making inventory conversion and working-capital discipline important.
Debt stands far above cash, the cash balance has declined across the reported window, and the latest period consumed operating cash before capital spending. A slowdown across residential, commercial, civil or industrial projects could reduce product throughput while the branch, distribution and service network still has to be funded.
How much cash does the business generate or use?
Quarterly operating cash flow shows cash generated or used by operations.

USD. Negative operating cash flow means cash used. Capital expenditure keeps the provider’s reported sign; it is not added here to estimate free cash flow or runway.
What should you watch next at Ferguson (FERG)?
Short answer · as of
The next earnings report is expected on Nov 5, 2026.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
The next release needs to be read across the income statement and cash-flow statement together. Watch whether revenue remains near recent strength, whether gross profit continues to outrun operating expense, and whether operating cash flow recovers from its latest reversal.
Cash, debt and capital spending will show whether earnings are translating into greater financial flexibility. Published forecasts assume continued expansion in revenue and earnings across the forecast horizon, so sustained cash conversion would provide stronger confirmation than an earnings beat alone.
How does Ferguson compare with its peers?
Short answer
Ferguson's score ranks 13th of 13 in the bounded comparison shown, against 12 same-model peers. These are company scores, not expected investment returns. The set lists named competitors first, then companies in the same data-provider industry classification closest in market value; that classification is the provider's, not our judgment of business similarity.
Research dated 2026-09-12.
Ferguson differs from a narrow product distributor through the breadth carried inside the same network: plumbing, heating and cooling, fire protection, waterworks, infrastructure and industrial supplies sit alongside fabrication, design, metering and jobsite logistics. That makes service execution and local product availability part of the offering, not merely support functions.
Its reporting profile is also heavily concentrated in United States operations. Comparisons with diversified industrial manufacturers can therefore mislead because Ferguson primarily earns from distributing products and coordinating project supply rather than from selling proprietary manufactured output.

Common Questions About FERG (Industrials)
Research dated 2026-09-12; the answers below are from that research, and the full attribution is under Sources. The last 3 questions are answered from this page's own dated data, not from the research.
What does Ferguson sell beyond plumbing supplies?
The range extends to heating and cooling equipment, fire-protection components, water-management systems, industrial maintenance products, fabrication and wastewater solutions. Ferguson also supplies design, estimation, metering, delivery and supply-chain services around those products.
Why does Ferguson’s jobsite delivery network matter?
Customers can combine product sourcing with quotation, project management, fabrication, delivery and logistics support. The network therefore competes on coordinating supply for active projects as well as on the products stocked.
How exposed is Ferguson to United States project demand?
United States operations dominate disclosed segment revenue, while Ferguson serves residential, commercial, civil, infrastructure and industrial customers. Activity across those project categories therefore has a direct bearing on product throughput.
What changed in Ferguson’s latest cash conversion?
Operating cash flow turned negative even as revenue, gross profit and net income strengthened. Higher capital spending deepened the gap between reported profit and cash retained after investment.
What is the FERG stock price today?
The last price recorded on this page for Ferguson plc (FERG) is $223.33, as of the Oct 2, 2026 trading session (source: Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) · quote). It is a provider snapshot, not a live exchange feed, so check a brokerage quote before you trade.

Known dates and sources are recorded on their own rows; an em dash or UNRECORDED tier preserves a stored observation without inventing either. The quarterly income statement is provider-standardized (FMP) under one row, and scale definitions — a 0-100 rating, the band ladder, the Piotroski 0–9 range — are fixed rather than measured. No number in those sections was generated by a model. The register does not cover quoted third-party headlines, the dated council readings, or the Frequently Asked Questions; each of those says where it came from where it stands.
"As of" is the date the value is true for where the source carries one — a quarter end, a filing date, a price close, the day the score was computed. A cached observation with no source date remains undated; the page publication date is not used as a substitute.
