Granite Construction posts Q3 2026 earnings beat and lifts full‑year revenue outlook

Granite Construction reported third‑quarter 2026 revenue of $1.77 billion, up about 23% year‑over‑year, and adjusted earnings of $3.81 per share, beating analyst forecasts. Net income fell to $3.21 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.07. The company raised its FY2026 revenue guidance to $5.4 billion‑$5.5 billion and said committed and awarded projects now total roughly $7.5 billion.

The raised revenue guidance signals higher expected sales for the year, which could support the stock price (the company noted the guidance increase in its earnings release). Analysts had expected $3.40 EPS and $1.70 billion revenue, so the beat and outlook upgrade may improve investor sentiment.
