Equitable Holdings (ISIN US29452E1010) was trading at USD 53.62 on the New York Stock Exchange at 11:16 a.m. ET on October 5, 2026, up 1.87 percent from the prior close. The company will release its third-quarter 2026 results after the market closes on November 2, according to Equitable Holdings in a release dated September 30, 2026.

November results set the next test

The November report is the next scheduled checkpoint for a company balancing retirement, wealth management, asset management and protection businesses. The same September 30 release says Equitable will hold its earnings webcast on November 3, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. ET, giving investors a defined timetable for the next operating update.

The October 5 trading range was USD 52.85 to USD 54.15, while the 52-week range was USD 35.20 to USD 55.06. At USD 53.62, the stock sat USD 1.44, or 2.61 percent, below its 52-week high, keeping the latest quote close to the yearly peak without crossing it.

Q2 showed profit and scale contrast

Equitable's second-quarter 2026 results contained a sharp split between reported and operating measures. A StockTitan filing summary dated August 4, 2026, reported a GAAP net loss of USD 453 million, or USD 1.68 per share, alongside non-GAAP operating earnings of USD 488 million, or USD 1.70 per share.

The same filing summary said assets under management and administration reached USD 1.2 trillion in Q2 2026, up 10 percent from a year earlier. Equitable also returned USD 449 million to shareholders during the quarter, a capital-return figure that gives the November update a second measure beyond earnings.

Analysts see USD 62.09 target

The analyst picture remains more constructive than the reported GAAP result. Investing.com lists a Strong Buy consensus from 12 analysts, including 11 Buy ratings and 1 Hold rating, with an average 12-month target of USD 62.09, a high of USD 68.00 and a low of USD 52.00. The average target lies 15.8 percent above the October 5 price.

A management transition adds an execution variable before the results date. The September 25 filing summary from StockTitan said Seth Bernstein will retire as AllianceBernstein's chief executive on March 31, 2027, with Onur Erzan scheduled to become CEO on April 1, 2027.

Stock remains near yearly high

Equitable Holdings stock was last at USD 53.62 on the NYSE at 11:16 a.m. ET on October 5, 2026. Its market capitalization was USD 14.6 billion and trading volume was 600,405 shares at that time.
