Graham Holdings posts Q3 2026 revenue of $1.33 B, EPS $17.60 and beats earnings estimates

Graham Holdings announced its third‑quarter 2026 results, showing revenue of about $1.33 billion, a modest increase from a year earlier. Net income was $75.1 million, translating to diluted earnings of $17.60 per share, which topped analyst forecasts. Operating income rose to $85.5 million, and the company completed the sale of Dublin Business School for $127.5 million.

The earnings beat may support the stock’s recent price gains, while the divestiture adds cash that could be used for debt reduction or reinvestment, according to the filing. Investors should note that revenue missed consensus estimates, which could pressure the share price if growth slows.
