Rambus reports record Q3 2026 revenue and earnings, issues modest Q4 guidance

Rambus Inc. posted third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $218.3 million, a 22% year‑over‑year increase, and GAAP earnings per share of $0.69, beating its own guidance. Non‑GAAP EPS came in at $0.84, also above estimates. The company said strong AI‑driven demand for memory‑interface products and data‑center IP drove the results and announced a $100 million accelerated share‑repurchase program. For the fourth quarter it forecast revenue of $227 million to $233 million and EPS of $0.84 to $0.92.

The earnings beat and record cash generation of $102.5 million give Rambus flexibility for continued R&D and share‑repurchases, while the modest Q4 outlook may temper short‑term price momentum. Investors should note the guidance range and the $100 million buyback as the primary drivers of near‑term valuation.
