H.B. Fuller stock (ISIN US3596941068) stood at USD 50.21 on the NYSE on September 23, 2026, down 1.68 percent after the adhesives maker reported fiscal third-quarter results.

Quarterly earnings beat estimates

Financial Times reported the companys fiscal Q3 2026 revenue at USD 938.175 million, an increase of 5.2 percent from USD 892.043 million a year earlier. Adjusted diluted EPS rose 21 percent to USD 1.52 from USD 1.26, and adjusted EBITDA increased 9 percent to USD 186.709 million.

The result was mixed against expectations. Investing.com said adjusted EPS exceeded the USD 1.47 consensus by USD 0.05, while revenue came in below the USD 948.25 million estimate by USD 10.25 million. The contrast matters because earnings leverage improved even as sales fell short of the market forecast.

Pricing offsets lower volume

The companys Q3 revenue bridge showed pricing up 7.4 percent and volume down 3.0 percent, producing organic growth of 4.4 percent. The Hygiene, Health and Consumable Adhesives segment led the business with 6.4 percent organic growth, compared with 0.7 percent for Engineering Adhesives and 5.2 percent for Building Adhesive Solutions.

Margin data add an important layer to the earnings reaction. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 19.9 percent in fiscal Q3 2026, up from 19.1 percent a year earlier, while adjusted gross margin rose to 33.5 percent from 32.3 percent. For investors, the 80-basis-point EBITDA margin gain partly offsets the 3.0 percent volume decline.
