Hovnanian reported fiscal Q3 2026 results, for the quarter ended July 31, 2026, on August 20, 2026. It posted a loss of $0.70 per share, wider than the $0.56 loss expected, a 25.00% miss. Revenue was $705.7 million, 2.45% below the $723.5 million estimate. A year earlier, in fiscal Q3 2025, Hovnanian earned $1.99 per share on $800.6 million in revenue, so revenue fell about 12% and earnings turned to a loss.

Hovnanian's fiscal year ends in October. In fiscal 2025, the one recent year with all four quarters in the table, EPS totalled $7.49 on revenue of $2.98 billion, though Q4 2025 was a loss of $0.51. The first three quarters of fiscal 2026 add up to $1.46 per share, against $8.00 in the same period of 2025. Revenue for those quarters was $2.01 billion, down from $2.16 billion. Fiscal 2026 has had two losing quarters so far. The table is incomplete: it jumps from Q2 2021 to Q4 2024, and several older rows show no estimates, so it gives no reliable long-term trend.

Hovnanian reported fiscal Q4 results on December 4, 2025 and December 5, 2024. That points to early December 2026 for the next report.
