Belden Inc. Reports Record Q3 2026 Results Driven by RUCKUS Acquisition and Automation Demand
Belden Inc. (BDC) delivered strong third-quarter results, reporting revenue of $966 million, a 38% increase year-over-year. The growth was primarily fueled by the strategic integration of RUCKUS Networks and robust demand within the Automation and Smart Buildings segments. Notably, total orders exceeded the $1 billion threshold for the first time in company history, reaching $1.017 billion. While wireless revenue saw a 6% decline due to component availability issues and delayed Wi-Fi 7 shipments, the overall margin profile improved significantly. The adjusted gross margin expanded by 330 basis points to 41.5%, aided by higher-margin RUCKUS products. Looking ahead, Belden raised its data center business outlook for 2027 to a $275 million run rate and provided optimistic Q4 revenue guidance of $960 million to $980 million.
