Dorman Products reports Q3 2026 results and narrows full‑year outlook

Dorman Products posted third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $561.7 million, a 3.3% year‑over‑year increase, while diluted earnings per share fell to $1.98 from $2.48 a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS was $2.08, down from $2.62 in the prior year. The company trimmed its full‑year 2026 guidance to 2%‑3% sales growth and diluted EPS of $7.95‑$8.15, and disclosed a $15 million share repurchase and $64.6 million of operating cash flow for the quarter.

The narrowed guidance signals slower revenue and earnings growth than previously expected, which may pressure the stock price and affect valuation models. The share repurchase and cash generation indicate continued capital return capacity, but investors will weigh this against the weaker earnings outlook.
