Patrick Industries stock holds up as diversification offsets RV slump
Published on 10/30/2026 at 01:07 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSDiversification cushions Patrick's RV weakness
- Patrick's Marine, Powersports and Housing businesses offset most of the quarterly RV decline.
- Reported earnings included merger-related and restructuring costs, while adjusted operating margin remained stable.
- The proposed all-stock combination with LCI Industries remains subject to shareholder approval.
Patrick Industries reported third-quarter results on October 29, 2026, showing how diversification across outdoor and housing markets helped offset a sharp decline in recreational-vehicle demand. The figures were published in a Patrick Industries financial-results release carried by Yahoo Finance.
Growth outside RV offsets weakness
Third-quarter net sales were USD 975 million, compared with USD 976 million a year earlier. Marine revenue rose 14% to USD 171 million, Powersports revenue increased 30% to USD 128 million and Housing revenue grew 4% to USD 314 million. Those gains nearly offset a 15% decline in RV revenue to USD 362 million.
Patrick said RV industry wholesale unit shipments fell 13% during the quarter, while dealers and manufacturers continued to manage inventory carefully. The different performance across end markets highlights the strategic value of the company's broader product mix, although it does not remove the cyclical pressure affecting its largest market.
Reported profit reflects transaction costs
Operating income declined to USD 50 million from USD 66 million, and reported operating margin fell to 5.1% from 6.8%. Patrick attributed the difference in part to merger-related expenses, restructuring costs and other non-recurring items. On an adjusted basis, operating margin was 6.8%, unchanged from the prior-year quarter.
Net income was USD 21 million, or USD 0.64 per diluted share, compared with USD 35 million, or USD 1.01 per share, in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income was USD 34 million and adjusted diluted EPS was USD 1.03, versus USD 35 million and USD 1.01 respectively. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3% to USD 116 million, with the margin expanding to 11.9%.
Merger remains an important catalyst
Patrick said its registration statement for the proposed all-stock merger with LCI Industries became effective on October 19. A special shareholder meeting is scheduled for November 18, 2026. The transaction remains subject to the applicable closing conditions, so its potential benefits should be viewed separately from the quarter's operating performance.
