DXP Enterprises reports Q3 2026 adjusted EPS miss and revenue in line with forecasts

DXP Enterprises announced third‑quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of $1.64, which fell short of analysts' $1.79 expectation. Revenue reached $587.2 million, matching consensus estimates and representing a 14.3% year‑over‑year increase. Adjusted EBITDA was $67.26 million, slightly under the $69.65 million forecast. The results triggered a 9.7% drop in the company’s share price in afternoon trading.

The earnings miss and lower‑than‑expected EBITDA suggest weaker profitability than anticipated, which may pressure the stock and affect short‑term investor sentiment. The revenue beat is modest, so the net impact on valuation hinges on future guidance and margin trends.
