Toast reports Q3 2026 revenue beat, EPS miss and CFO transition while raising full‑year adjusted EBITDA outlook

Toast Inc. posted Q3 2026 revenue of $1.98 billion, up 21% year‑on‑year and in line with Wall Street estimates. GAAP earnings were $0.29 per share, but adjusted EPS of $0.29 fell short of the $0.37 forecast, sending the stock down about 6% after hours. The company announced CFO Elena Gomez will leave, with Michael Senno slated to take over on Jan. 1 2027, and lifted its full‑year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $840 million‑$850 million.

The higher full‑year adjusted EBITDA range signals management’s confidence in profitability despite the quarterly earnings miss, which may influence investors’ valuation models. The CFO departure adds a leadership uncertainty that could affect execution of the guidance.
