Quest Diagnostics reported Q2 2026 results on July 23, 2026. Earnings per share came in at $3.12, ahead of the $2.82 estimate by 10.52%. Revenue was $3.0 billion, in line with the consensus. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose about 19% from $2.62 and revenue rose about 7% from $2.8 billion.

The longer record shows a dip followed by steady growth. Annual EPS fell from $9.92 in 2022 to $8.71 in 2023, then rose to $8.92 in 2024 and $9.85 in 2025. The first two quarters of 2026 add up to $5.62, about 16% more than the same period a year earlier. Q2 2026 revenue is the highest in the table, and its EPS is the highest since Q1 2022. The EPS high here is $3.96 in Q3 2021, and the low is $1.98 in Q4 2022. Quest topped the EPS estimate in all of the last 20 quarters. Its largest beat was Q3 2021, at 37.72%, and most others were under 8%.

Quest reported Q3 between October 20 and October 24 in each of the past five years. That points to late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year growth of recent quarters continues.
