Q3 2026 earnings show heavy charges but resilient core business
According to an overview of recent Form 8-K filings compiled by StockTitan, Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. reported a fiscal third-quarter 2026 GAAP operating loss of 2.1 billion dollars, with a diluted loss per share of 6.47 dollars, driven mainly by approximately 2.9 billion dollars of pre-tax charges from business and asset actions including the exit of its Louisiana Clean Energy Complex and the Casa Grande, Arizona green hydrogen facility.
