While those covering the stock had been forecasting revenue of $3.6 billion in fiscal 2025, management projects it will land in the $3.675 billion to $3.825 billion range. Similarly, the consensus among analysts is that EnerSys will report EPS of $8.38, while management is now guiding for EPS in the range of $8.55 to $8.95.
