Novanta shares jumped 5.46% to close at $145.98 after the company reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.05 per share and revenue of $305.008 million, both topping analyst estimates. However, the company's fourth-quarter adjusted EPS guidance of $0.91-$0.96 fell below consensus, and it trimmed its FY2026 adjusted EPS outlook to $3.66-$3.71 even as it slightly raised its FY2026 sales forecast to $1.135B-$1.140B. The stock also moved as Novanta filed a Form 8-K disclosing a major company event. Despite the strong Q3 beat, the softer forward profit guidance introduces a cautious note that could weigh on the stock's direction.
