Nordson Corporation (ISIN US6556631025) was last at USD 325.77 on Nasdaq on September 25, 2026, up 0.78 percent from USD 323.26. The stock's latest earnings beat delivered fiscal third-quarter adjusted EPS of USD 3.25 and revenue of USD 817.67 million, giving investors a clear benchmark for the valuation.

Fiscal Q3 beats estimates

Zacks reported on September 18, 2026, that Nordson's adjusted fiscal Q3 EPS increased 19.00 percent year over year to USD 3.25, exceeding the USD 3.09 consensus estimate. Revenue rose 10.30 percent from the prior-year quarter and exceeded the USD 779.00 million consensus estimate.

The standardized fiscal Q3 figures show operating profit of USD 223.09 million and an operating margin of 27.29 percent for the period ended July 31, 2026. Operating cash flow reached USD 249.37 million in that quarter, adding cash generation to the earnings picture.

Guidance lifts the baseline

Yahoo Finance reported that Nordson raised fiscal 2026 sales guidance to USD 3.035-3.075 billion from USD 2.930-3.010 billion. Adjusted EPS guidance increased to USD 11.80-12.00 from USD 11.30-11.80, implying adjusted earnings growth of 15.00-17.00 percent.

The operating details explain why the guidance matters. Zacks said backlog was up 35.00 percent from the prior-year level, while Advanced Technology Solutions revenue increased 28.40 percent to USD 219.88 million in fiscal Q3. That segment mix gives the results a stronger growth angle than the consolidated revenue increase alone.
