Kennametal raises fiscal 2026 outlook as third-quarter sales rise 22% to $593 million

Positive Impact 4 of 5 guidance Written later

Kennametal reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter sales of $593 million, up 22% from a year earlier, and diluted EPS of $0.75 versus $0.41. The company raised its full-year sales and adjusted EPS outlook, citing the unprecedented rise in tungsten pricing and stronger volume, but year-to-date operating cash flow fell to $70 million from $130 million, mainly due to higher inventory.

Key points

  • Q3 sales of $593 million rose 22% (19% organic); operating income was $79 million, a 13.4% margin, versus $44 million a year earlier
  • Diluted EPS was $0.75 versus $0.41; adjusted EPS was $0.77 versus $0.47 in the prior-year quarter
  • Full-year fiscal 2026 outlook raised: sales of $2.33 to $2.35 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.75 to $4.00
  • Nine-month free operating cash flow was $18 million versus $63 million; quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share is payable May 26, 2026
