Clarivate posts Q3 loss, beats EPS, but revenue miss follows Life Sciences divestiture

Clarivate Plc released its third‑quarter 2026 results, showing total revenue of $567.9 million including the Life Sciences & Healthcare segment and $481.6 million after excluding that business, which was sold on October 6, 2026. Organic revenue for the continuing operations grew 0.4% year‑over‑year, while the company recorded a net loss of $80.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Adjusted earnings per share were $0.21, topping forecasts, and the firm updated its full‑year outlook with revenue now expected around $1.97 billion.

The revenue shortfall, highlighted by the company’s own guidance, suggests lower top‑line growth than analysts had projected, which may pressure the stock price. However, the earnings beat and continued organic ACV growth indicate that the core subscription model remains resilient, according to management’s commentary.
