Energizer Holdings ENR Q3 2026: Revenue Beats but EPS Falls Short
As seen on the 24/7 Wall St. homepage on August 4, 2026.
Last year's quarter carried $112.4 million in production credits that are gone this time, so the EPS shortfall is a comparison issue rather than demand. Auto Care sales rose 10.4% on refrigerant demand, and management guided full-year adjusted EPS to the low end of $3.30 to $3.60.

Energizer reported adjusted EPS of $0.75 for Q3 2026, missing the $0.83 consensus estimate by about 9%. The shortfall is largely a year-over-year comparison problem: last year's Q3 included $112.4 million in production credits that did not recur this quarter, making the headline number look worse than underlying demand trends suggest. Revenue of $734.1 million came in roughly 1.9% ahead of the $720.3 million estimate, offering a cleaner read on actual business performance.
Auto Care was a notable bright spot, with sales rising 10.4% driven by refrigerant demand. That segment growth helped lift the top line above expectations even as the EPS comparison suffered from the credit absence. Investors watching the battery and auto-care categories will find the revenue beat a more meaningful signal of current momentum than the EPS miss alone.

On the outlook, management guided full-year adjusted EPS to the low end of its $3.30 to $3.60 range. That narrows the goalposts heading into the final quarter and gives the market a concrete floor to price against. The SEC filing contains the full detail behind both the segment results and the credit accounting that drove the year-over-year distortion.
