JBT Marel Corporation Q3 2026 Earnings Call Summary
JBT Marel Corporation reported Q3 2026 earnings with an 18% adjusted EBITDA margin, driven by cost improvements and automation demand in the Protein Solutions segment. Revenue in Prepared Food and Beverage declined due to lower volume. Management expects a 20% EBITDA margin by 2028 and revised full-year revenue guidance downward. The Board authorized a $700 million share repurchase program. Potential USDA poultry ruling could boost automation investments.
