Dentsply Sirona reports Q3 2026 miss and cuts full‑year sales and EPS outlook

Dentsply Sirona announced third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $836 million, a decline of 7.5% year‑over‑year on a reported basis and 7% in constant currency. The company posted a GAAP loss of $0.01 per share and adjusted earnings of $0.29 per share, both missing consensus. It lowered its full‑year 2026 guidance to net sales of about $3.5 billion (previously $3.5‑$3.6 billion) and adjusted EPS of $1.20‑$1.30 (down from $1.40‑$1.50, excluding a $0.17 one‑time tariff‑refund gain). BofA Securities cut its price target to $14 from $17 and revised its EPS guidance to $1.10, citing the weaker results.

The reduced sales and EPS outlook signals lower profitability for the year, prompting analysts to lower price targets (BofA cut its target to $14). The guidance reset may pressure the stock, which fell double‑digit percentages in pre‑market trading.
