DGX Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Quest reported 10% revenue growth and raised its full-year revenue and EPS guidance; with the stock up 1.8%, the reaction was modest rather than a clear endorsement. The transcript cites broad channel growth and productivity gains, though the excerpt does not provide the revised guidance figures.

Graco Inc.

GGG Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Graco shares fell 18.1% after earnings, with investors likely focused on the cautious outlook: management said the fourth-quarter forecast does not assume demand acceleration, while third-quarter revenue was slightly below the company’s comparable guidance range as Industrial projects slipped. Adjusted operating margin also declined nearly 180 basis points year over year.

Key takeaways

Q3 revenue reached a record $586 million, up 8% year over year, including 4% organic growth; all three segments and reportable regions contributed.
Revenue was slightly below the company’s $580–$600 million guidance range excluding Valco Melton, mainly because of delayed or pushed-out larger Industrial projects.

Excel Corporation

HXL Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Hexcel’s shares fell 9.5% after earnings. While the company reaffirmed full-year guidance, investors may have focused on near-term margin pressure from restarting production lines and hiring, alongside softness across several defense and space programs.

Third-quarter sales were $496 million, up 9% year over year; adjusted diluted EPS was $0.50, versus $0.37 a year earlier.
Adjusted operating margin was 11.0%, up from 9.8% a year earlier, but management said production-line restarts and hiring are pressuring margins in the short term.

Defense and space sales were $166 million. Management cited temporary softness in U.S. space launchers and rocket motors, timing-related F-35 weakness, and a slower Rafale quarter; the year-over-year decline also reflected industrial business exits.
Hexcel reaffirmed 2026 guidance: revenue of $2.025 billion–$2.150 billion, diluted EPS of $2.30–$2.40, and free cash flow above $195 million.

View recap

Lam Research Corporation

LRCX Q1 2027

Reported: 2026-10-25

Lam’s shares fell 11.8% after earnings, despite record September-quarter results, as investors may have focused on the gap between strong demand and the company’s ability to supply it: management said clean-room availability and component constraints could limit deliveries in 2027. The outlook also remains preliminary, with Lam citing WFE spending above $200 billion in 2027 while warning that supply constraints may prevent the industry from fully meeting end demand.

Key takeaways

September-quarter revenue, gross margin, operating margin, and EPS reached records; operating margin exceeded 40% for the first time.
Lam expects calendar 2026 systems revenue to grow well over 40% year over year, and forecasts 2026 WFE in the mid-$150 billion range.
Management’s preliminary 2027 WFE outlook is above $200 billion, with growth led by DRAM, followed by leading-edge foundry logic and NAND.
Supply risks temper the outlook: clean-room availability and constraints on certain components could limit capacity to meet demand, and Lam is working with suppliers to expand capacity.
Lam raised its expected cumulative Aether-related revenue by the end of the decade to approximately $2.5 billion, about $1 billion above its prior expectation.

MOH Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Molina’s shares rose 0.8%, a roughly flat reaction, as the company reaffirmed 2026 guidance and outlined a preliminary 2027 earnings outlook. The outlook includes delayed Georgia and Texas contract starts and higher projected Medicaid medical cost trend, tempering the positive rate outlook.

Molina reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of at least $5.25 and premium revenue guidance of approximately $42 billion.
For 2026 Medicaid, the company raised its rate outlook and increased its medical cost trend outlook to 5%–5.5% from 4%–4.5% for trend, while leaving the 92.9% full-year MCR guidance unchanged.
Preliminary 2027 premium revenue is expected to be at least $45 billion. Delayed Georgia and Texas contracts defer $1.3 billion of premium; Molina expects overall Medicaid rate increases may approximate 6%, against projected medical cost trend of 5.5%–6%.
Preliminary 2027 earnings building blocks exceed $9.50 per share from known items, but do not assume improvement in legacy Medicaid or Medicare MCRs.

NEE Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

NextEra Energy reported 9.7% year-over-year growth in third-quarter adjusted EPS, while the stock fell 0.7% after earnings. The reaction was roughly flat; the excerpt highlights earnings growth and FPL’s cost and reliability metrics, but does not provide enough detail to identify a specific disappointment.

Key takeaways

The excerpt provides no updated earnings guidance or detailed Energy Resources results, limiting assessment of the outlook and segment performance.

Nokia Corporation

NOK Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Nokia shares fell 12.0% after the results, despite Q3 sales growth and margin expansion. The transcript doesn’t identify a specific quarterly miss; the main caution is that management’s positive narrative may not have been enough to satisfy investors, as the full-year outlook is only described as tracking above its midpoint and the cited growth acceleration is concentrated in AI and cloud.

Key takeaways

Group net sales grew 9% in Q3, and operating margin expanded 220 basis points to 11.7%.
AI and cloud sales rose 123% year over year, reaching 12% of group sales; order intake increased 118% to €1.5 billion gross.
IP Networks grew 43% and Optical Networks 18%. Both are now expected to grow somewhat above the prior 18%–20% full-year assumption; for 2027, Nokia expects combined growth of 25%–30%.
Management said the company is tracking to deliver above the midpoint of its full-year outlook, but provided no specific outlook figures in the remarks presented here.
Demand in IP and Optical Networks exceeds supply, according to management—an opportunity for growth, but also a constraint on meeting customer demand.

Higher fuel costs and significant August weather pressured operations; management said targeted capital investments are being accelerated to support continued volume growth.

Old Republic International Corporation

ORI Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

PulteGroup, Inc.

PHM Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

PulteGroup’s shares rose 5.8% after earnings, as third-quarter EPS of $2.53 and a 24.8% gross margin appear to have outweighed signs of slowing demand. The quarter was not unambiguously strong: closings came in slightly below the company’s guide, and community traffic fell as higher rates weighed on buyers.

Key takeaways

Q3 earnings were $476 million, or $2.53 per share; gross margin was 24.8%.
The company delivered almost 7,000 homes, with closings slightly below its guide.
Net new orders fell 6% year over year to 6,210 homes. Absorption pace declined 13%, partly offset by a 7% increase in average community count.

ROP Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Roper’s shares rose 9.7% after the company reported 7% organic revenue growth and raised full-year DEPS guidance. The quarter also showed uneven performance across businesses, with subdued meter-market conditions at Neptune and management taking a wait-and-see approach on Deltek.

SON Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

SSNC Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Reported: 2026-10-25

VLO Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Valley National Bancorp

VLY Q3 2026

Reported: 2026-10-25

Valley’s shares rose 6.1% after earnings, with management pointing to results that put the bank on track to finish 2026 at the high end of its original guidance ranges. The longer-term case also rests on a stronger balance sheet and planned acquisitions expected to add low-cost deposits, though those deals remain pending.
