Nordson Corp (US6556631025) is responding to a 15% quarterly dividend increase to $0.94 a share and fiscal Q3 2026 revenue of $817.67 million, both reported on August 27, 2026.
The same recap says adjusted EPS reached $3.25 and beat the $3.09 consensus by $0.16, while revenue rose 10.3% from $740.3 million a year earlier.
Dividend message
The board lifted the quarterly payout from $0.82 to $0.94, extending a 63-year run of annual dividend increases. That makes the latest cash-return move larger than the prior rate by $0.12 a share, or 14.6%.
Investors also have a clear earnings comparison to anchor on: the quarter's $817.67 million in sales topped the $779.49 million expectation by $38.18 million.
Profit and outlook
Fiscal Q3 2026 EPS of $3.25 compared with $2.73 in the same quarter a year earlier, a gain of $0.52 per share. The company also set fiscal 2026 EPS guidance at $11.80 to $12.00, while analysts cited in recent coverage expect $11.83.
That gap is narrow, which leaves the guidance range more important than the beat itself. A second number stands out: the quarter's 10.3% revenue growth came alongside a 19.0% increase in EPS year over year.
