Etsy posts Q3 2026 earnings beat, active‑buyer growth and announces CFO departure

Etsy reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $692.47 million, up 10.9% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings per share of $1.00, beating consensus estimates. Marketplace gross merchandise sales rose 8.8% to roughly $2.6 billion, while the take rate widened to 26.2% and adjusted EBITDA reached $210.4 million, a 30.4% margin. Active buyers increased 1.0% to about 88 million, the first annual rise in two years, and the company guided Q4 marketplace GMS to $3.46 billion‑$3.52 billion. Chief Financial Officer Lanny Baker will leave the firm on March 1 2027.

The earnings beat and buyer‑growth signal stronger operating momentum, supporting the company’s guidance for continued GMS expansion in Q4. The announced CFO transition adds a governance consideration for investors as the company moves into 2027.
