SmartRent posts Q3 2026 revenue growth and margin expansion, issues upbeat Q4 outlook

SmartRent reported third‑quarter 2026 total revenue of $41.6 million, up 15% year‑over‑year, with core revenue rising 24% to $40.7 million. Gross margin expanded to 41% and adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $1.1 million, a $4.0 million improvement from the prior year. The company ended the quarter with $89.2 million in cash, repurchased 2.5 million shares (1% of outstanding), and deployed 941,977 units. It forecast fourth‑quarter revenue growth of 15%‑20% YoY, core revenue growth of 20%‑25%, and adjusted EBITDA growth of 450%‑650%.

The margin expansion and cash strength improve the company’s financial flexibility, while the share repurchase returns capital to shareholders. The guidance suggests continued top‑line acceleration, which B. Riley cited when raising its price target to $2.25 (from $1.75).
