RPM jumps as record fiscal Q3 beat and reaffirmed outlook fuel fresh buying
RPM International shares are rising after the company posted record fiscal Q3 2026 results, with sales up 8.9% to $1.61 billion and adjusted EPS of $0.57 beating expectations. The company reaffirmed its fiscal Q4 outlook for mid-single-digit sales growth, supporting today’s gains.
1. What’s moving the stock
RPM International is trading higher today as investors continue to react to the company’s fiscal 2026 third-quarter report, which delivered record quarterly sales and a sizable earnings beat. The company also reiterated its near-term sales outlook, keeping the post-results momentum intact.
2. The key numbers behind the move
For the fiscal third quarter (ended February 2026), RPM reported record sales of about $1.61 billion, up 8.9% year over year, and adjusted earnings of $0.57 per share, well ahead of the Street’s profit expectations cited in market previews of the release. Management also reaffirmed fiscal fourth-quarter guidance calling for mid-single-digit sales growth, giving bulls confidence that demand and execution are holding up into the next quarter.
