Matthews International (MATW) Cuts Its Outlook While Chasing A Battery Future

Matthews International (MATW) reported mixed fiscal Q3 results, lowering its adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026 to $158M-$162M due to delays in energy storage solutions. The company reduced debt by $12M in Q3 and $144M year-to-date, partly from a Propelis stake redemption. Memorialization sales rose, driven by the Dodge acquisition, while Product Identification grew 5%. The company launched a battery manufacturing line in Germany and announced a European restructuring plan.
