Nordson Corp (US6556631025) jumped after fiscal third-quarter sales reached $818 million on August 20, 2026, while adjusted EPS came in at $3.25 and full-year guidance moved higher. The shares last changed hands at $334.70, with market cap data at $17.27 billion, and the stock finished the session up 8.00%.
Record sales and earnings
Fiscal Q3 sales rose 10% from $742 million a year earlier, and adjusted EPS increased 19% from $2.73. EBITDA reached $262 million, equal to 32% of sales, while net income was $153 million.
That mix matters because the quarter beat both revenue and earnings expectations. Revenue of $817.67 million topped the $779.49 million consensus by $38.18 million, and adjusted EPS beat the $3.09 estimate by $0.16.
Guidance moved up
Nordson raised fiscal 2026 sales guidance to $3.035 billion to $3.075 billion from the prior $2.930 billion to $3.010 billion range. Adjusted EPS guidance now stands at $11.80 to $12.00, above the $11.30 to $11.80 range that was in place before the update.
The latest analyst snapshot still clustered close to the company's improved view, with average expectations around $11.59 per share for the year. In that context, the new range leaves Nordson with room to defend another beat if margins hold near the quarter's 32% EBITDA rate.
What the product mix says
The company sells precision dispensing and fluid management equipment used in electronics, industrial, medical and packaging applications. That end-market spread helps explain why organic growth reached 12% in the latest quarter even as the industrial backdrop stays mixed.
Price and trading level
Nordson shares traded at $334.70 on August 21, 2026, after moving between $308.42 and $336.70 during the session. The stock is also close to its 52-week high of $336.70.
