Haverty Furniture posts Q3 2026 earnings beat and margin expansion

Haverty Furniture Companies reported third‑quarter 2026 diluted EPS of $0.39, up from $0.28 a year earlier. Consolidated sales rose 4.5% to $203.2 million and gross profit margin increased to 62.3% from 60.3%. The company opened five new stores, including its first in Pittsburgh, and reaffirmed full‑year gross margin guidance of 61.3%‑61.5%.

The earnings beat and higher margin suggest stronger profitability, which may support the company’s dividend of $15.8 million and share repurchases of $16.6 million. Management’s reaffirmation of 2026 margin guidance could bolster investor confidence in future earnings performance.
