National Vision posts Q3 earnings beat, revenue miss and lowers FY2026 outlook while authorizing $100 M buyback
National Vision Holdings reported third‑quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $0.30, more than doubling year‑over‑year and beating analyst estimates. Revenue rose 4.8% to $510.5 million, falling short of consensus. The company narrowed its full‑year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $0.95‑$1.03 and revenue guidance to $2.02‑$2.04 billion, both below market expectations, and announced a new $100 million share repurchase program.
Why it matters
The earnings beat may support the stock, but the revenue miss and lowered FY2026 guidance could weigh on the share price, while the buyback program may provide some price support, according to the company’s announcement.
