Central Garden & Pet, whose Class A shares trade under CENTA, reported fiscal Q3 2026 results on August 5, 2026. Earnings per share were $1.54, a 0.55% beat on the $1.53 estimate. Revenue of $882.4 million was close to the $883.0 million consensus. Against fiscal Q3 2025, EPS was about 1% lower than $1.56, and revenue was about 8% lower than $960.9 million.

Earnings follow a seasonal rhythm in the table. Most profit comes in the second and third fiscal quarters, and the fourth quarter has often been a small loss, including Q4 2024 and Q4 2025. Annual EPS moved from $2.18 in fiscal 2022 to $2.02 in 2023, $2.14 in 2024 and $2.72 in 2025. Through three quarters, fiscal 2026 EPS totals $3.04, up about 8% from $2.81 a year earlier, while revenue for the same quarters was about 2% lower. The company topped the EPS estimate in 18 of the last 20 quarters, matched it once and fell short once, in Q4 2022.

Fiscal Q4 results came out between November 21 and November 25 in each of the past five years. That suggests late November 2026 for the next report, which will close out fiscal 2026.
