Suburban Propane reported a USD 17.53 million loss for fiscal Q3 2026, a result that puts the seasonal earnings profile of SPH stock under scrutiny. The company released the quarter's results on August 6, 2026, according to Suburban Propane.

What the loss means

Investing.com reported that revenue reached USD 261.38 million in fiscal Q3 2026, below the USD 264.00 million forecast. The same report put diluted earnings per share at a loss of USD 0.26, compared with a forecast loss of USD 0.19.

The revenue miss was smaller than the earnings shortfall, but the combination still matters because the quarter ended June 27, 2026, during a seasonally weaker period for propane demand. Operating cash flow was USD 70.98 million in fiscal Q3 2026, compared with USD 116.27 million in fiscal Q2 2026, according to the financial statements for SPH.

Next report date

Suburban Propane's investor page identifies the partnership as a New York Stock Exchange issuer and describes its business as the distribution and marketing of propane, fuel oil, refined fuels, natural gas and electricity. Its investor page also records a September 10, 2026 partnership with The NASCAR Foundation, giving the company a current operational and community engagement reference point.

MarketWatch lists November 12, 2026 as the date for SPH's fiscal 2026 earnings report. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for the next update on seasonal demand, margins and cash generation.
