NETGEAR Q3 revenue falls 9.3% to $167.3 million; GAAP loss widens to $0.45 per share
NETGEAR reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results, with net revenue down 9.3% year over year to $167.3 million and a GAAP net loss of $12.3 million, or $0.45 per share, compared with $0.17 per share a year earlier. Non-GAAP EPS rose to $0.13 from $0.12, and management attributed the revenue decline mainly to manufacturing constraints at a key production partner. The company guided fourth-quarter 2026 net revenue to $160 million to $175 million, so shareholders face near-term revenue pressure while the company expects production to return to normal levels by Q1 2027.
