Morningstar reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $672.1 million, up 8.9% year‑on‑year, and net income of $115.5 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.06, while non‑GAAP EPS was $3.48, both above analyst forecasts. CEO Kunal Kapoor highlighted the launch of Direct AI and strong adoption of its MCP tools. The company repurchased $100 million of shares in the quarter and $500 million year‑to‑date.

The company said the revenue and non‑GAAP EPS beats demonstrate the market’s appetite for its AI‑driven offerings. Despite the beats, the stock fell 3.6% after results, indicating short‑term pricing pressure.
