Amrize AG Q3 2026 earnings: revenue and EPS fall short, guidance trimmed

Amrize's Q3 2026 revenue and earnings per share both fell short of analyst estimates, and the company trimmed its full-year outlook citing wet weather and rising fuel costs.

Q3 2026ReportedExpectedSurprise
EPS$1.02$1.07-4.7%
Revenue$3.77B$3.90B-3.3%

Key takeaways

  • Both headline numbers landed below what analysts had modeled for the quarter: revenue came in at about $3.77 billion versus a roughly $3.9 billion estimate, and earnings per share of $1.02 came in under the roughly $1.07 estimate. Revenue and profit still grew modestly versus a year earlier, but not by as much as Wall Street had expected.
  • Unusually wet weather across the Northeast, South and Central U.S. slowed construction activity during the quarter, cutting cement shipment volumes by roughly 4.2% even as the company pushed prices higher.
  • Higher prices partly offset the weaker volumes: cement prices rose about 1.8% and aggregates (crushed stone, sand and gravel) prices rose nearly 7%. At the same time, oil-driven increases in freight and fuel costs took an estimated $97 million out of adjusted earnings.
  • Amrize closed its acquisition of ready-mix concrete producer Rapid Redi-Mix in the Dallas-Fort Worth area during the quarter, adding to growth from recent deal-making alongside organic pricing gains.
  • The company trimmed its full-year 2026 outlook, now expecting revenue of $12.2 billion to $12.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization — a rough measure of underlying operating cash profit) of $2.95 billion to $3.05 billion, down from the $12.5 billion to $12.7 billion and $3.1 billion to $3.2 billion ranges given after the second quarter. Management pointed to continued cost inflation and elevated interest rates as the reasons for the cut.
  • The margin figures in the fundamentals table show a business that converts a meaningful share of sales into profit — operating margin near 15% and net profit margin approaching 10% over the trailing year — typical of an established building-materials producer, even as this quarter’s weather and fuel costs squeezed results.
  • The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share, continuing shareholder payouts alongside the acquisition spending.
  • Shares fell in after-hours trading following the release, reflecting investor disappointment with the revenue shortfall and the softer full-year outlook.
