FirstService Reports Q3 2026 Revenue Growth and Margin Expansion
FirstService (FSV) reported a 6% increase in consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2026. The company's property management segment, FirstService Residential, successfully expanded operating margins by optimizing labor costs and divesting from its low-margin seasonal aquatics business. This strategic shift allows the division to focus on higher-return core management contracts. In terms of capital allocation, management has pivoted toward aggressive share repurchases due to a lack of high-yield acquisition targets. Since the second quarter, FirstService has repurchased 9% of its outstanding stock. Additionally, the company's restoration services brands, Paul Davis and FirstOnsite, saw a 10% revenue increase, driven by strong performance in Canada and Hawaii which offset slower storm activity in the mainland U.S.
