Quanex Reports Q3 2026 Earnings with Mixed Revenue Performance
Quanex (NX) reported third-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2026, showing mixed performance across its business segments. Net sales rose to $501.8 million, up slightly by 1.3%, driven primarily by favorable pricing but partially offset by IEEPA tariff reimbursements. Adjusted net income increased from $31.6 million to $36 million due to improved pricing and lower interest expenses. The Hardware Solutions segment saw a decline in revenue (-2.7%) as volume drops and tariff refunds outweighed price gains, while the Extruded Solutions segment grew by 2.8% thanks to higher pricing. Custom Solutions performed strongly with an 8.5% increase due to both volume growth and improved pricing. Free cash flow rose slightly to $47.8 million. Looking ahead, Quanex expects Q4 revenue to grow between 2-3%, along with a margin expansion of 50–75 basis points in adjusted EBITDA.
