Weiss Ratings upgraded United States Lime & Minerals from Hold to Buy in a research note dated October 9, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The change followed quarterly results that fell short of the published earnings and revenue expectations.

Quarterly results set the baseline

United States Lime & Minerals reported USD 99.13 million in revenue and USD 34.51 million in net income for the quarter ended June 2026. Revenue increased 8.3 percent from the year-earlier quarter, according to Business Quant, which standardized the figures from company filings.

The earnings result was weaker than the comparison with expectations. Diluted earnings per share were USD 1.20, below the USD 1.30 consensus cited by MarketBeat. Revenue also trailed the USD 108.00 million estimate by USD 8.87 million, making execution against expectations the central operating issue.

What does the upgrade change?

The Buy upgrade adds a more constructive analyst signal after the earnings comparison, but it does not erase the numerical shortfall. MarketBeat said the stock traded below its 200-day moving average of USD 114.64 on October 14, 2026, reaching USD 105.36 during that session.

Three dated developments

On October 9, 2026, Weiss Ratings moved its assessment from Hold to Buy, according to MarketBeat. Together, the three events show a company with rising quarterly revenue, an earnings miss against estimates, and a later improvement in analyst sentiment.
