MDU Resources reported Q3 2026 adjusted earnings of $0.08 per share, missing the $0.10 consensus, while revenue of $347.8 million beat the $342.548 million estimate.

Shares fell 2.47% to close at $18.53, trading between a high of $19.96 and a low of $18.52 on volume of 4,337,388. The earnings miss appears to be the primary driver of the stock's decline, signaling a bearish near-term direction.
