Star Group, L.P. (ISIN US85512C1053) closed at USD 12.88 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, with a 0.62 percent gain from the prior session. The company reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter revenue of USD 358.07 million, while earnings came in at a loss of USD 0.84 per unit, according to MarketBeat.

Revenue grows as earnings turn negative

The fiscal third quarter ended June 30, 2026, delivered a sharp contrast between sales and profitability. Revenue increased 17.2 percent year over year to USD 358.07 million, based on the fiscal-results summary published by ToAlpha.

MarketBeat reported the USD 0.84 per-unit loss for the same quarter and said Star Group maintained its quarterly distribution at USD 0.1975. The distribution equates to USD 0.79 on an annualized basis, according to the September 26, 2026 report.

Heating demand remains the key variable

Star Group distributes heating oil and propane and also provides equipment installation, maintenance and repair services. Its business therefore combines fuel volumes with recurring service relationships across residential and commercial customers in the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.

The latest figures show why revenue growth alone does not settle the investment case. A 17.2 percent sales increase arrived alongside a quarterly loss, leaving margins and seasonal demand as the central operating checkpoints for the next report.

Hold rating and December reporting date

MarketBeat said one investment analyst rated Star Group Hold, while its September 26, 2026 coverage cited a 200-day moving average of USD 12.72 and a trading high of USD 12.85. The technical level sat USD 0.16 below the October 2 close, a difference of 1.2 percent.

Yahoo Finance lists Star Group's fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter earnings announcement for December 7, 2026, in its earnings calendar. That date gives the market a defined checkpoint for testing whether the fiscal third-quarter loss was seasonal or part of a broader profitability issue, according to Yahoo Finance.

Stock stays below its yearly high

Star Group closed at USD 12.88 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, with volume of 15,715 shares and a market capitalization of USD 422.9 million. The price stood 4.8 percent below the 52-week high of USD 13.53 and above the 52-week low of USD 11.39.
