Photronics reported fiscal Q3 2026 results on August 26, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.50, ahead of the $0.40 estimate by 23.98%. Revenue was $216.0 million, about 3.4% above the $208.8 million consensus. Compared with fiscal Q3 2025, EPS was nearly flat against $0.51, while revenue rose about 3% from $210.4 million.

The longer record is one of steady results. Annual EPS has stayed close to $2.00 for four years: $1.98 in fiscal 2022, $2.05 in 2023, $2.04 in 2024 and $2.03 in 2025. Revenue peaked at $892.1 million in fiscal 2023, then eased to $866.9 million and $849.3 million. The first three quarters of fiscal 2026 add up to $1.53 per share, about 7% more than the $1.43 of the same period a year earlier. Quarterly EPS has ranged from $0.33 to $0.61 in the table, and every quarter shown was profitable. Photronics beat the EPS estimate in 13 of the last 20 quarters, missed six times and matched once.

Photronics reported fiscal fourth-quarter results between December 8 and December 13 in each of the past five years. That points to early or mid-December 2026 for the next report, which will complete fiscal 2026.
