Q3 earnings beat expectations

According to Zacks on September 18, 2026, Nordson's adjusted earnings reached USD 3.25 per share in fiscal Q3 2026, up 19.0 percent year over year and 5.2 percent above the USD 3.09 consensus. Revenue rose 10.3 percent year over year to USD 817.67 million, exceeding the USD 779 million consensus.
