Management attributed the quarter’s results to targeted financing incentives and selective price adjustments, which helped support sales activity. CEO Eric Lipar noted that the company leaned into mortgage rate buydowns and advertising to stimulate demand, while maintaining margin discipline through self-developed lots.

CEO Lisa Su highlighted that, “the combination of our expanding compute franchise and rapidly scaling data center AI business drives significant revenue and earnings growth.” However, despite these positive drivers, the market reacted negatively to the results, reflecting investor concerns raised on the call around higher inventory levels and the sustainability of recent growth trends.

Management attributed the strong top-line performance to accelerated membership gains, especially as competitors retrenched.

Upstart’s third quarter was marked by solid year-over-year growth but drew a negative market reaction, as revenue modestly missed Wall Street’s expectations. Management attributed the results to conservative adjustments within its AI-driven credit decision models, which responded to macroeconomic signals by tightening loan approvals and raising interest rates. CEO David Girouard noted, “Our models responded to macroeconomic signals they observed by moderately reducing approvals and increasing interest rates,” leading to a lower conversion rate despite robust demand. The quarter also saw continued progress in new products, particularly in auto and home lending, yet the impact of model conservatism weighed on transaction volumes.

Kratos’ third quarter results saw a negative market reaction despite notable revenue growth and a substantial earnings beat. Management emphasized that the quarter’s performance was driven largely by accelerating demand for its unmanned systems, including shipments of tactical Valkyries to international partners, and robust growth in rocket support and space-related businesses. CEO Eric DeMarco highlighted that Kratos is benefiting from “increasing demand for military-grade hardware or systems and software to support national security,” with the Unmanned Systems division leading the charge thanks to regulatory approvals and new program wins.

Equitable Holdings faced a challenging third quarter as it missed Wall Street’s revenue and adjusted earnings expectations, resulting in a significant negative market reaction. Management attributed the underperformance primarily to notable items including onetime impacts from its life reinsurance transaction and elevated mortality costs. CEO Mark Pearson acknowledged, “Earnings rebounded from the first half of the year, helped by growth in each of our core businesses and the completion of the life reinsurance transaction,” but also recognized impacts from assumption changes and transaction timing. The company’s focus on growing its asset and wealth management businesses partially offset headwinds in legacy life insurance, while annual assumption reviews validated a conservative approach to risk.

CEO Heather Lavallee highlighted the impact of organic net flows and the integration of OneAmerica, noting, “Our results build on the success we’ve seen year-to-date, with adjusted operating EPS in the quarter up nearly 30%.” However, management acknowledged higher corporate expenses tied to performance-related compensation as a headwind.

CAVA’s third quarter results were met with a negative market reaction, reflecting concerns about moderating same-store sales growth and a more challenging consumer environment. Management pointed to flat traffic and softer demand among younger guests as key factors behind the quarter’s performance. CEO Brett Schulman acknowledged, “today’s environment is creating real pressures for consumers, especially younger guests who are making more deliberate choices about where they spend.” While new menu innovations and continued expansion supported overall sales growth, the company faced higher labor and operating costs, which offset some of the benefits from increased scale and restaurant openings.

Flywire delivered a calendar Q3 marked by robust client demand and strong execution across its core verticals, with the market responding positively to the company’s results. Management highlighted the addition of over 200 new clients and ongoing traction outside traditional education markets as key drivers. CEO Michael Massaro attributed the outperformance to Flywire’s ability to consolidate payment flows for clients, noting that their Student Financial Software platform and expansion in regions such as the U.K. and Asia played a significant role.

TPG reported third quarter results that exceeded Wall Street’s revenue expectations, but the market responded negatively, likely due to a miss on adjusted operating income.

CEO Jon Winkelried pointed out that TPG’s capital formation was driven by strong client demand and differentiated performance, stating, “We raised a near record $18 billion of capital, up 60% from the second quarter.” Despite these positives, concerns about margin sustainability and the timing of performance-related earnings weighed on investor sentiment.

Lindblad Expeditions delivered a quarter that was met with a positive market reaction, reflecting strong execution in both its cruise and land-based adventure segments.

CEO Stephen Sills specifically highlighted the timing of Bowhead’s entry into the excess and surplus (E&S) casualty market and the company’s focus on avoiding underpriced segments as key drivers. Operational efficiencies, particularly through technology enhancements, also played a role in supporting the company’s margin profile.

Revolve’s third quarter was marked by strong margin expansion, which contributed to significant bottom line outperformance despite revenue coming in slightly below Wall Street expectations.

CEO Toby Williams noted, "Our ongoing investment in AI capabilities is resulting in higher product engagement and client satisfaction." Additionally, the company’s broker referral channel remained robust, contributing over a quarter of new business and supporting stable client retention.

Zoetis faced a challenging third quarter, with the market reacting negatively to results that showed flat year-on-year sales and a trim to full-year revenue guidance. Management attributed the muted performance primarily to subdued clinic visits in the U.S. companion animal segment and heightened promotional activity from competitors. CEO Kristin Peck noted, “Growth moderated this quarter driven by a strong year-over-year comp and macro factors, including vet clinic visits and promotional activity.” The company also pointed to social media-driven misperceptions affecting its osteoarthritis pain portfolio, especially Librela, and acknowledged that competitive launches in dermatology created additional headwinds.

Amgen’s third quarter results were well received by the market, reflecting robust volume-driven growth across its diversified portfolio.

The company also benefited from sustained growth across its broad markets segment, including automotive, edge IoT, and data center infrastructure.

Masimo’s third quarter results for 2025 were met with a significant negative market reaction, despite the company surpassing Wall Street’s revenue and adjusted profit expectations. Management attributed the quarter’s topline performance to robust contracting activity, with CEO Catherine Szyman highlighting “strong underlying demand” for Masimo’s healthcare technologies and an 8% year-on-year increase in shipments of technology boards and monitors.

CEO Wendy Barnes cited the launch of direct-to-consumer pricing programs with major brands like Novo Nordisk and Amgen, as well as the rollout of the RxSmartSaver solution at Kroger, as evidence of execution on core priorities.

CEO Scott Rajeski noted, “all 3 of our product lines experienced year-on-year growth,” highlighting that the company’s investments in product innovation and marketing have outpaced broader industry trends. Latham’s ability to mitigate tariff impacts and capture share in key geographies, particularly the Sand States, contributed to its margin expansion and competitive positioning.

Advanced Energy’s third quarter saw a positive market reaction, reflecting the company’s outperformance against Wall Street expectations. Management attributed the robust quarterly results to a significant surge in data center revenue, which more than doubled year over year, as well as operational execution and cost savings from the closure of its China manufacturing facility.

CEO Jeffrey Benck noted, “I was particularly encouraged by the broadening of sectors that contributed to our revenue growth,” and pointed to a multiyear record in cash cycle efficiency, reflecting disciplined working capital management.

Reffkin credited the integration of acquired businesses like Christie's International Real Estate for driving higher attach rates and margin gains, while also pointing to improved free cash flow as evidence of execution.

Trex’s third quarter results drew a significant negative market reaction, with management pointing to a slowdown in consumer demand for decking and railing products after July as a primary factor. CEO Bryan Fairbanks explained that while initial signs of recovery in the repair and remodel (R&R) market were evident early in the quarter, demand weakened across all sales channels as the period progressed. Fairbanks described the operating environment as “mixed,” highlighting that the broad-based slowdown was not limited to any specific channel, and noted that increased competition in marketing spend contributed to the challenging quarter.

NMI Holdings’ third quarter results came in ahead of Wall Street’s revenue expectations, but the market responded negatively, with the stock trading down after the announcement.

Purple’s third quarter was marked by operational improvements and early progress on strategic initiatives, leading to a positive market reaction.

CEO Charles Liang noted that the company is in the “early phases of the dynamic AI growth trend,” but acknowledged that the complexity of new GPU racks and the need for intricate integration and validation extended delivery timelines. CFO David Weigand further explained that the delayed shipments were primarily linked to a major design win, resulting in revenues being pushed to future quarters.

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling’s third quarter was marked by a challenging demand environment and persistent cost pressures, resulting in a negative market reaction. Management pointed to broad declines in lift truck demand across all regions, with customers postponing capital expenditures due to tariff impacts, volatile interest rates, and economic uncertainty. CEO Rajiv Prasad described the quarter as one where “the optimism has faded largely due to the impact of tariffs on the market demand and on our costs,” underscoring that many customers are taking a more cautious approach to investment. The combination of lower truck volumes and elevated tariff-related material costs led to margin compression, while bookings activity, though up sequentially, was driven by higher pricing rather than improved end-market demand.
