Navient Corporation stock (ISIN US63938C1080) was trading at USD 9.02 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026, at 1:34 p.m. ET, up 1.06 percent from the USD 8.93 prior close. The company has set November 4, 2026, for its third-quarter results and a 5:00 p.m. ET webcast, according to GlobeNewswire on October 7, 2026.

November 4 sets the next checkpoint

Navient will post its third-quarter results after 4:00 p.m. ET on November 4 before the earnings call, with the filing also due on Form 8-K. The date gives investors a defined checkpoint for the education lender's loan performance and funding trends.

The company operates in education finance and loan management, including private education lending and refinancing through its Earnest business. Its latest investor-relations page identifies the November 4 event as the next scheduled earnings call.

Analysts keep a cautious view

Eight analysts give Navient a Reduce consensus, split between four Sell ratings and four Holds, with an average one-year target of USD 8.08, according to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026. That target is 10.4 percent below the USD 9.02 price, making the consensus gap the key counterweight to the scheduled results date.

Barclays lowered its target from USD 8.00 to USD 7.00 while keeping an Underweight rating in an October 5, 2026, research update, as reported by Markets Insider. The cut places Barclays' target 22.4 percent below the October 7 price.

Q2 earnings beat the estimate

For the quarter reported on August 6, 2026, Navient posted EPS of USD 0.29 against USD 0.20 consensus and revenue of USD 150.00 million against USD 142.87 million expected, according to MarketBeat. The EPS beat was USD 0.09, while the reported net margin was negative 1.64 percent.

That combination leaves the November report with two measurable tests: whether lending activity supports earnings and whether profitability improves from the latest negative margin.
