Hamilton Beach reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $140.3 million, up 5.6%, and diluted earnings of $0.26 per share versus $0.12 a year earlier. The company cut its full-year outlook, now expecting 2026 revenue to be flat year over year and operating profit to decline in the high teens percent, because retailers became more cautious with holiday inventory orders amid weaker consumer sentiment. Shareholders face a weaker revenue and profit outlook, partly offset by a higher operating cash flow forecast.
